City Pound Records, 1864-1894

Scope and Content Note

This collection contains three volumes from the City Pound. The first is a chronological listing of cash receipts and cash disbursements. Each entry contains only one line of information: name, date, case number, and amount. Case numbers correspond to case numbers in the City Pound Driver's Record. The Driver’s Record is a chronological listing of animals picked up. Information provided includes date and case number, name and residence of person making arrest, description of animal, where taken, days kept, name of person claimed by and redeemed, amount paid out, and remarks. During archival processing, staff inferred an end date of 1894 from the sequence of partially dated entries that follow the latest fully dated entry (August 1, 1893) in volume 3.
