Volume 9, March 19, 1861 - May 14, 1862
Scope and Contents
The records are in nine volumes of printed forms with manuscript entries. Each page contains the bond for one officer, and shows the district serving in, the date of the bond, the position appointed to (policeman, supernumerary, sergeant, lieutenant, chief of police, etc.), the officers name, the name of the freeholder acting as security for the officer, and the amount of the bond pledged as security. Each bond is signed by the officer and his security and, in some cases, by the Mayor as well. While most of the bonds are for police officers, other positions are also included. Among those noted are Assistant Street Commissioner, Commissary of the Treme Market, and "to arrest stray animals."
