Description

New Haven County Superior Court Cost Records: Oxx vs. Mix (1741–1742)

Overview

This collection comprises the cost ledger documents for the 1741–1742 legal proceeding “Oxx vs. Mix” in the New Haven County Superior Court. It is part of the Connecticut State Library’s New Haven County Superior Court Files (Record Group 3) and was digitized under the “Black, African American, and Indigenous History” (BAAI) retrospective project. The materials are two scanned images of cost records, each with OCR‑extracted text, detailing the fees and expenses incurred during the case.

Background

The BAAI project seeks to highlight court cases involving Black, African American, and Indigenous individuals in Connecticut’s history. “Oxx vs. Mix” is one such case, and the cost records provide insight into the financial aspects of 18th‑century litigation in New Haven County. The Connecticut State Library holds the original documents, which were photographed and made available through the PINAX system.

Contents

  • RG003NHSCBAAIPSCostsOxxvsMix001.jpg – Cost ledger for the February 1741/42 term, listing items such as court fees (17‑0), jury fees (2‑2‑0), attorney fees (1‑0‑0), copies (0‑7‑0), and various other charges.
  • RG003NHSCBAAIPSCostsOxxvsMix002.jpg – Complementary ledger with additional entries: “Proteaver 20‑3‑0,” “Court and Jury fees 4‑10‑0,” “London house 7‑10‑4,” and other miscellaneous fees.
The OCR text confirms the dates, parties (Oxx and Mix), and the term “Feb’y Term 1741/42.” The collection does not include the full case file, only the financial ledger entries.

Scope

The collection covers the fiscal period of the 1741–1742 court term in New Haven County, Connecticut. It focuses on legal costs associated with the Oxx vs. Mix case, providing a snapshot of 18th‑century court fees. The materials are in English, dated 1741–1742, and are relevant to scholars of early Connecticut legal history, Black and Indigenous legal experiences, and the economics of colonial litigation.
