Description (What the record is about)
-
This series consists of jury panels bearing lists of jurors summoned to try actions in the Palatinate Court of Common Pleas, covering the period from 1811 to 1848. Before 1811 documents of this nature were placed on the files of original and judicial writs.
The panels are usually endorsed with the verdict and details of damages and costs. Many writs are annotated with a reference to the plea roll on which proceedings in the case were recorded. Some writs bear another number, the significance of which has not been discovered. It does not correspond with the declaration number noted on most documents relating to an action and recorded in the remembrance books. Attached to the panels are the writs instructing the sheriff to summon the jurors.
