Security bonds for having coffee houses, cabarets and taverns in the Third Municipality volume 1, 1847
Scope and Contents
Printed forms with manuscript entries. In most cases the record gives the type of license, the names of the licensee and the individual acting as his security, the amount of the bond, the date, and some reference to the conditions of the bond agreement. In some cases the addresses of the licensee and/or the security are also given. Some of the bonds are marked to signify cancellation or other alteration.
These records may be useful in locating individuals in the city at a specific time and in identifying exact addresses for some of those individuals. They should also be useful in studies of the early hospitality trade in New Orleans, both quantitatively and in identifying participants in the various aspects of that activity. A study of the role of those acting as security for the licensees may also be of interest, i.e., did they have a financial stake in the activities carried out by the licensees beyond any fee that they may have charged for putting up the bond.
