Scope and Content Note

This volume is a partial index to General and Special Term Minute Books of the Supreme Court of Judicature in its terms at Albany. The paper, binding, and writing indicate that the index was compiled in the latter nineteenth or early twentieth century. Only selected cases are included, and the exact criteria for selection are unknown. The volumes are cited by volume number (vols. 1-16) through 1834, and then by year through 1847. Admissions of attorneys (including counsellors) are entered under 'A', but names of individual attorneys are not indexed. Petitions and orders for street openings are indexed by name of city (mostly New York and Brooklyn) then by name of street. Actions "in the matter of" ("in re") are indexed under 'I' (most concern actions for partition and for proof of wills of persons leaving no heirs in New York State). Other indexes to the Albany minutes are found in each volume of that series commencing with the February term, 1824.
