Volume 6, March 28, 1835 - December 31, 1836
Scope and Contents
Manuscript daily reports, in French, of the captain of the Guard or, in his absence, of another officer. In some instances separate reports for specific posts, additional documents, or comments in English are also included. Most of the reports are made up of arrest records, with name, offense, and location given. In some cases the disposition of the matter is also indicated. Arrests of enslaved people or free persons of color are distinguished by the absence of surnames and/or the use of a lighter shade of ink. The final volume (1835-1836) continues with reports of the Guard of the First Municipality.
