From the Trent University Archives' preamble

The Calendar was prepared for the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace and Assizes which sat 4 times per year: March, June, September and December. The information on each "Calendar of Prisoners" includes: name, place of birth or residence, age, offence, date of committal, and any remarks which were entered at the time the prisoners were brought before the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace. Extant reports are incomplete: many sessions within years are missing and some years there are no reports at all.
This index lists those awaiting an appearance or awaiting summary sentencing by a Justice at Cobourg Jail from 1846 to 1908. Not all records have survived.

The following entries for Port Hope area citizens are taken from the Calendar for 1901-1908, when residence is shown.
