Loose material relating to Justice Walkem found in container 002340-1024 has been described with this series, as appears to consist mainly of pages from Justice Walkem's bench books dating from 1886 to 1891. The material from 1886 covers the month of June, which is missing from volume 15 in this series. The pages cover cases heard at the Nelson County Court and Clinton and Kamloops Assizes, and several involve members of the local Indigenous and Chinese communities.
