RECORDED: [location unknown], 1974-03-09 SUMMARY: [No content summaries or documentation available.];

The file consists of records that were found in collection at the BC Archives. They were located in November 2021 in a box of miscellaneous court records. The majority of these records had been pulled from files in GR-1304 (Victoria Supreme Court probate files) during the microfilming of those records in the 1980s. While the majority of the records in that box were reunited with their original files, the records in this file remain loose. Archives staff cannot be sure that they were all pulled from GR-1304 and they may belong to records in another series.

The file consists of 3 leather pocket books and several small scraps of paper. The file includes a receipt dated 1864 between an Edward Finch (?) and a P. Uhart (?).a receipt dated June 21 1864 at Victoria for payment between Peter McQuade and the Schooner North Star (master William McCulloch), a receipt dated at Victoria June 11, 1864 between Samuel Smith and Peter McQuade, a receipt dated at Kamloops July 31, 1873 mentioning an Alexander Smith, Joseph Bushie, and Edward [Chund?], a reciept dated at New Westminster February 4 [no date] regarding Sir Patrick Killey and William Farson (?), and a receipt written in French on 13 February 1865 between a Rene Sazet and a Pierre (?) Bonaparte. There is also a receipt dated November 2 1892 that mentions the estate of Morris Moss, as well as an M. Manson and an Alex McLean. The file also consists of material pulled out of GR-1304 file 1726 (Thomas Smith, d. 1892). These items are marked in the file but include an empty leather pocketbook, a copy of a poem entitled "When the Rye Come Hame," a receipt dated at Victoria on December 31, 1861 and a letter written by a James Smith in Charlotteville, January 2 1885. These records do not appear to relate to the Thomas Smith file and were removed in the 1980s.

Of the two remaining pocketbooks, one contains a Pacific Diary for the Year 1872 published in San Francisco. The diary itself is blank. The other notebooks is in very fragile condition and has various notes that have been crossed out. These include notes on Metlakakklah (sic), Fort Simpson, Skeena, Wrangel, Victoria. It also includes various assorted other notes.
