STILL MISSING are the records of preliminary hearings of the Slumach case held at the District (County) Court 3 November 1890 before Justice of the Peace Capt. Pittendrigh. Assumed lost in New Westminster's Great Fire of 1898. We know that the content of the vault in the New Westminster court house was partly destroyed during the fire. But if the records did survive can anyone help me finding them? Photo: New Westminster Post Office after the fire.
NOTE: Slumach's Gold, page 38, the caption of a picture of New Westminster after the fire includes the words "Many records were destroyed in this fire, including Captain Pittendrigh's...."
