This fonds consists of township records, by-laws, legal correspondence, records of the Queen's Bench and General Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham.

The fonds is arranged into 9 series:

- Voter's lists and books including militia rolls
- Juries and jurors
- Convictions and return of convictions
- Inquests
- Indictments
- Magistrates returns
- Justice of the Peace Commissions
- Criminal and Civil Procedures and Correspondence and Case Records which reflect a change in the organization of records by the County Clerk's office after 1914 and which contain inquest, conviction and indictment documents.
