Description

A Pasadena Police Court ledger from 8 September 1920 to 14 February 1921, containing the transcripts, on preprinted paper, of court proceedings, mainly involving traffic ordinances but also intoxication, gambling, begging and other misdemeanors. Information included dates, name of defendant, crime charged, outcome of the hearing and sentence imposed, if any. The cloth book is badly worn and stained, although the binding is tight and pages are generally clean, so the overall condition is fair.
