Manuscript volume, January 2, 1834-June 15, 1844, of receipts signed by individuals receiving papers relative to criminal cases that originally came before the Mayor. In most instances the receipts are dated and give the names of the accused party/parties, along with the offenses with which they were charged.

An example, dated August 12, 1840, is signed by Edward Hall, Consular Agent, Republic of Texas, indicating his receipt of "the copper plates for Bonds Change Notes and patents engraved by Edicott and Clark for the Republic of Texas.
