This series contains accounts of fines levied against members of the State Militia. Chapter 222 of the Laws of 1818 reestablished the New York State Militia and provided (Section 25) for the accounting of fines levied by Courts of Inquiry (Courts Martial) by the state comptroller, and for collection of delinquent accounts by the sheriffs. Accounts contain general information about court proceedings, fines imposed, and payments made. In a few cases, the name of defendant and the nature of the charges are mentioned.
