Description (What the record is about)
-
An apparently random collection of a few pleadings filed in crown cases in the Court of King's Bench, mostly of the mid to late nineteenth century, giving a very patchy chronological coverage but including some year bundles.
They include pleas in answer to indictments or informations, demurrers to indictments or the return of a mandamus; joinders to demurrers or to writs of error; replications by the prosecutor; rejoinders by defendants; traverses by defendants to returns of writs of mandamus; disclaimers by defendants; and special cases.
With a few exceptions they are very formal documents, and serve mainly to illustrate the technicalities of pleading by filing papers in court. None later than 1906 seem to have survived.
