The series consists of ten reports sent to Frederick Hussey in 1905 and 1911, in his capacity as Superintendent of Provincial Police and Inspector of Gaols.

The records list the number of the suit, the style of cause, and any remarks, such as whether the case was adjourned or if an appeal had been made. The cases listed in the calendars relate to those listed in the plaint and procedure books described in GR-1652 and were held before Judge Swanson.

The series consists of receipts, financial tallies, and other notes that may have been created by ETW Pearse during his time as government agent at Kamloops. The records largely relate to the County Court case of Rex v. Marshall. The series also includes several trade licenses signed by Pearse dated June 1915, as well as inward correspondence sent by the Provincial Police. Although the provenance and creator of the records is unclear it appears that they were created by ETW Pearse in his capacity as government agent at Kamloops. The series also consists of a list of 71 men with their place of residence and occupation. This list appears to be in Pearse’s handwriting and is undated. Orders in council indicate that Pearse held a number of positions, including those of government agent, gold commissioner, registrar of vital events, and registrar of voters. It is therefore supposed that the list of men is a list of eligible voters in the area around, or slightly prior to, 1915.

The records were found loose in a volume of records from Kamloops County Court, and it is likely that they were subsumed into the Court as the responsibilities of government agent were assumed by other offices.

The series consists of a letterbook containing crime reports produced or collected by Sergeant John William Hooker during the course of his duties as a British Columbia Provincial Police (BCPP) officer while posted to Coquitlam, Grand Forks, Nelson, Smithers, Prince George, Clinton, Ashcroft, Spence’s Bridge, Merritt, and Kamloops between 1932 and 1944. The records cover a variety of crimes and social issues—particularly in small, rural communities. In addition to generic social issues, the records from Grand Forks (file 3) relate primarily to Doukhobors, and include reports on the settlement of Gilpin.

The majority of the reports were produced by Hooker. Some supplemental records (copies), such as an inquest, inward correspondence in relation to particular cases, and a reason for judgement are interfiled with the crime reports.

The records are arranged chronologically and by detachment location. The records do not capture all crime reports filed in a particular district, but were likely selected by Hooker. Some of these files have been labeled in pencil “Personal file.” The records consist primarily of crime reports on standard BCPP letterhead. Each report contains the district, detachment, and the date, as well as an overview of the case and persons involved.

Some of these records may also be available in GR-1388: Correspondence and other material created by the British Columbia Provincial Police Force of the Yale district. John William Hooker's personnel card, which provides details of the service of constables, including marital status, date of first appointment, station, and various postings, can be found in GR-0091, vol. 30-31.

The series consists of Kamloops Supreme Court civil case files from 1868 to 1949 as well as several County Court files that appear to have become interfiled at some point of the records's history. Files before 1914 have a Clinton or Yale Registry stamp even though the hearing seems to have been in Kamloops. Records in accession G88-103 were transferred separately, and include a notice of sheriff's sale from Prince Rupert, an assortment of loose law stamps, correspondence regarding cases, and oaths of allegiance for Norman Bole of New Westminster and William Ward Spinks of Kamloops. It is unclear how some of the ephemera came to be included with these records.
