            [history] => Trial files comprise of depositions, witness statements, evidence and the final verdict, as well as any subsequent court papers such as correspondence regarding legal aid, pertaining to a trial. Prior to the mid 1940s the files of those convicted also contained information from the sentencing. In the 1940s the trial and sentencing parts of the case file were divorced from each other and separate trial and sentencing files were created. The series ended in 2003 when the Courts moved to an electronic registration system for all criminal records.
