Scope and Content Note

This volume contains accounts of fees charged by the clerk of the Supreme Court of Judicature at Geneva. The entries were made daily, and each gives the date, name of attorney charged, nature of charge, and the amount charged. The fees are for impressing seals; copying dockets; searching and copying documents; taking affidavits; and taxing costs. Occasionally residences of attorney are indicated. This record was compiled pursuant to a law of 1839 containing a new list of fees to be charged by clerks of the Supreme Court.
