Scope and Content Note
This series consists of a small amount of petitions made to the Supreme Court of the City and County of New York. Some petitions made to the court are for orders granting relief to the committees of persons previously declared incompetent and committed to Manhattan State Hospital. Some petitions are for orders granting formation and relief of such committees. Other petitions are for orders directing surrender by such committees to the petitioner sums of money or other control of the estate of an incompetent person. A few brief patient histories are also included.
