	The calendars listed prisoners tried at each sitting of the Supreme Court, Dunedin. Basic details of the prisoner and the trial were also listed.

	The series includes some "returns" of prisoners tried from the 1860s. Some calendars for sentence were also filed in with trial calendars.

	- number

	- name

	- ship

	- year of arrival

	- condition

	- by whom committed

	- when committed

	- offence

	- verdict of jury

	- sentence

	- remarks

	From 1874 onwards, lists of previous convictions of prisoners were attached to some calendars.

	From 1901 onwards, information recorded on the forms could include:

	- number

	- name

	- age

	- trade

	- where born

	- religion

	- offence
