Plaintiffs and defendants indexes to the "Case Files and Miscellaneous Court Papers" (cataloged separately).

Each entry gives case file number, names of defendant and plaintiff, kind of action (civil or criminal), date of judgment, volume and page of judgment record book or docket book, amount of judgment, sometimes the date satisfied, sometimes citations to other record books. |

Entries are alphabetical by first letter of surname, thereunder by case number. Each entry gives names of parties and the case (page) number. Seems to be a plaintiffs index. |
