Description
McCure vs. Tyler Case Costs Collection, 1746‑1748
Overview
The McCure vs. Tyler Case Costs Collection is a digitized assemblage of cost‑record sheets from the New Haven County Superior Court, covering the period 1746‑1748. The collection is held by the Connecticut State Library and is part of the NHSC BAAI PS Costs series, which catalogs financial details of cases involving Black, African American, and Indigenous litigants. It consists of two primary image files (JPEG and TIFF) that reproduce the original ledger entries, accompanied by metadata generated by the PINAX system.Background
The case, recorded as Matthews W. v. Sam Tyler, involved litigants Matthews W., Sam Tyler, Matthew McIre, and Sam Tyler Esq. The documents were produced by the court clerks and reflect the financial outlays required by the parties during the trial. The Connecticut State Library assembled the collection under a National Historical Publications and Records Commission grant aimed at preserving and making accessible New Haven County court records.Contents
The collection contains detailed cost entries for each court session, including:- Travel expenses (e.g., “Travel to court April 1746 forriage 0‑16‑2”)
- Court attendance (e.g., “attendance 4 days $4‑0”)
- Attorney fees (e.g., “attorneys fees 0‑10‑0”)
- Clerk fees (e.g., “Copy from County Clerk 0‑18‑0”)
- Total sums (e.g., “Now Total £8:17:2”).
Scope
The collection focuses exclusively on the financial aspects of the McCure vs. Tyler litigation in New Haven County Superior Court from April 1746 to August 1748. It does not include the full docket, legal arguments, or final judgment. The material is geographically limited to New Haven County, Connecticut, and temporally confined to the mid‑18th‑century period of the case’s proceedings.Entities
