Each listing has the exact date, the name & residence of the "plaintiff", name of the attorney, cost and transportation cost, and disposition of the case.

Interesting reading and reference!!
Probably from a large town/city in New Hampshire. Many of the people being judged have put Berlin, Manchester, etc. for residence, so has to be from a NEW HAMPSHIRE Sheriff's office.
Some of the punishments are fascinating, and include such things as "attached Nash coupe, Cadillac coupe, Ford coupe, Essex sedan, a Victrola, 9 cows, 2 horses, specific itemized farm equipment, hay, Packard, motorcycle, car, and real estate, etc., etc....". Even one says "taken to prison"!!!
Scans show the details.
A great unusual antique item for a collection of court, legal, or police related things, or NEW HAMPSHIRE related things. ABSOLUTELY SUPER, EARLY SUBJECT MATTER. A great amount of fantastic information for enjoyment and reference!!!
Each volume measures 8 1/2" x 14".
