New York State Supreme Court of Judicature Clerk's Registers of Cases in Supreme Court of Judicature and Courts of Common Pleas

Chronological by date of first entry for each case.

The volumes in this series are clerks' registers of writs issued and returned, declarations and other documents received and filed, and other business transacted in the Supreme Court of Judicature and in the Courts of Common Pleas in some of the counties of upstate New York.

Each case is identified by the names of the parties, the name of the court, the type of action or matter, and the amount of damages sought and awarded. The entries or memoranda for each case are usually dated and are heavily abbreviated. These registers are not account books, but they contain notes of fees charged by the clerks. Some of the cases are marked "Settled." The Common Pleas registers marked on the paper covers "No. 1" and "No. 2" are for cases heard in the Courts of Common Pleas in Oneida, Herkimer, and Chenango Counties. The Supreme Court register marked on the paper cover "No. 1" is the only one found. The leather bound "Register" contains cases heard in the Supreme Court of Judicature and in the Courts of Common Pleas in Monroe, Genesee, Ontario, and Niagara counties.
