Scope and Content

Dating 1829-1866, Inferior court records are arranged by term, two terms per year, and then alphabetically by type of document. These records comprise a rather scattered and incomplete collection of civil cases. The Inferior Court tried minor civil suits, generally debt-related cases concerning small monetary sums. Prior to 1852, the court also heard probate cases and an occasional equity suit. Many of the cases originally filed with the Inferior Court were appealed to the Superior Court and have been filed under "Appeals" in the Superior Court Records. The bound volumes of the Inferior Court proceedings present a more complete record of the Court's transactions than can be found in the loose papers.
