-
Sworn 'informations' of witnesses and 'examinations' of defendants, taken by one or more justices out of sessions and forwarded to the court for the hearing of the case. Signatures of justices and signature or mark of deponent. The 19th Century depositions are normally taken at Petty Sessions. The majority of the early depositions concern petty thefts and other minor offences. On the file for 1766 there are several vagrants' examinations; with the 1764 depositions is a vargrant's forged certificate used as an exhibit in her prosecution for false pretences.
