Description | Most of the records inherited by Derbyshire County Council on taking over the administrative functions of the Quarter Sessions Courts have been listed. However, some records, whole series in some cases, have yet to be listed. These are described in the lists for series within the Quarter Sessions collection, where series have been allocated. Where series have not been allocated, they are described in very brief terms below. Regrettably, the information given here (drawn from Derbyshire Record Office's archive location records) should be regarded as incomplete and unreliable. For each series, the total extent in boxes is given, but this is an approximation in each case. Some series may in fact have been listed, so that further investigation will establish that no unlisted material remains. Notes in brackets indicate where this is likely. Users are welcome to order this material to view in the searchroom, but please contact us giving two days' notice of what you would like to see.
