Submissions at the Assizes included records of the preliminary hearings. The whereabouts of the originals of these records are unknown but Duncan McPaden made transcripts that have survived as photocopies in Don Waite's recently recovered collection. These copies are now available on the "Transcripts from Legal Records" page on the Slumach Web site.
