Description

Mixes vs. OXX Case Costs 1741

Overview

This is a digitized collection of the original cost ledger for the 1741 civil case Mixes vs. OXX adjudicated by the New Haven County Superior Court. The collection comprises a high‑resolution JPEG and TIFF scan of the original ledger, an OCR‑derived text file, and associated metadata. It is part of the Connecticut State Library’s New Haven County Superior Court (NHSC) archive, specifically the “Black, African American, and Indigenous History” (BAAI) subset of case files.

Background

The case dates to 1741, a period when colonial Connecticut courts recorded detailed fee schedules for legal proceedings. The New Haven County Superior Court, the primary judicial body for the region, maintained these records in its docket. The Connecticut State Library acquired the paper originals in the 20th century and has since digitized them for preservation and research. The BAAI project, funded by the National Historical Records Preservation Center, focuses on court cases involving Black, African American, and Indigenous individuals; Mixes vs. OXX is included because one of the parties is identified as such.

Contents

  • RG003NHSCBAAIPSCostsMixvsOxx001.jpg – a scanned image of the ledger page, showing itemized fees: former cost allowed £5 14:6, 3 days of “tendance” at £0 07:6, summons for evidence, officer fees, travel, and attorney fees.
  • RG003NHSCBAAIPSCostsMixvsOxx001.tif – the original TIFF scan, preserving the full resolution and color fidelity.
  • ocrtextmixvsoxx_001 – an OCR‑extracted text file reproducing the ledger’s contents in plain text.
  • Metadata – includes title, creator, institution, date, language, subjects, and place.
  • Indexing – the collection is indexed under the NHSCBAAICasesPapersSubject concept, linking it to other BAAI case files.

Scope

The collection covers a single ledger page from the 1741 case, providing a snapshot of the court’s fee structure at that time. It is geographically confined to New Haven County, Connecticut, and thematically focused on legal costs in a colonial civil proceeding involving a Black or Indigenous party. The collection does not include the full docket, court transcripts, or related correspondence; it is limited to the cost ledger itself.
