Additional Details

A list of 330 prisoners, giving their date of transfer, name, crime, and officer. Many of the criminals are women. The most common crimes are assault & battery, vagrancy, and disorderly conduct. One man was committed for bigamy, and one woman ran a "D House." One man was recorded as "drunk," and was described only as "a man who says he has no name." The list is signed at the end by the three conducting officers, who presented it as a $168 bill to the city.
