Description (What the record is about)
-
Quarter Sessions records have been divided into administrative and judicial records for convenience. However, in practice, administrative and judicial business was conducted side by side. Consequently, records such as order books, minute books and account books may also contain references to judicial matters. The sessions rolls include proceedings relating to the administrative functions of the Quarter Sessions.
Summary of unlisted records: Chairman's notebooks (1 box and 3 volumes); Appointments of sheriffs and undersheriffs (2 boxes); Minutes and lists of files 1969-1971; Unsorted papers (4½ boxes).
