The assize records are mainly kept in annual files. From 1713 onwards there are gaps only for 1738-1740 and 1742. Until 1771 each file contains at least four annual assize files; thereafter the arrangement is one files a year until 1819, when the addition of spring to summer assizes produces two pieces a year. Winter assizes being added in 1855, there are three files a year thenceforward.
