Summary:
This collection contains writs of error filed by the clerk of the Supreme Court of Judicature in New York City. The writ required
the judge of a trial court to return a transcript of a judgment and related proceedings to the Supreme Court for review and
determination. The writ alleges that "manifest error" occurred during pleading or trial. About two-thirds of this series consists
of writs of error unaccompanied by transcripts, while the remainder of the series includes both the writ and the transcript
of the judgment and proceedings in the trial court.
