            [history] => 

	The files in this series contain copies of indictments, depositions and other court papers relating to criminal trials at the Supreme Court in Hamilton. The files from 1904 to 1909 are headed "In the District Court of Waikato and Thames Holden at Hamilton". This contradicts the New Zealand Gazette entry for 5 March 1888 page 296, which refers to the disestablishment of the District Court of Waikato and Thames in 1888.

	No register for these files has yet been located.

The paper wrapping on each file gives the name of the accused, the charge and the date of trial, and there was a very small number of files in total. Some files have a single number, but it is not clear whether this may have related to the depositions hearing at the Magistrate's Court prior to the trial.
