Add MS 85526-85543

Coleridge Family Papers. Vols. xxxii–xlix. Nisi Prius; 1835-1857. In addition to the written evidence, many volumes also contain case indictments written on loose paper and either left loose in the volume or stuck into the relevant page using letter wafers. Most volumes also have relevant copies of each published 'Circuits of the Judges' (a table showing which judges had been assigned to which circuit) stuck into the front cover of the volume. Cases are listed in chronological order in the front pages of each volume, giving the names of both plaintiff and defendant. Each case ends with the relevant verdict and sentence; some volumes also contain Coleridge's notes and questions for his summing up speech. Volumes 3, 15, 17, and 18 are missing.

Eighteen volumes. All the volumes have dark maroon spines on which the volume title, circuit details and volume number have been embossed in gold; the colour of the boards varies.
