Sure I can.I don't think you can say for sure that misdemeanor trials WERE actually recorded in the state of New York during the early 19th Century.
It may be that there were SOME misdemenor trials that were not recorded but that would have been in violation of normative legal practices of England (from whom U.S. legal practice was derived) dating to AT LEAST the late middle ages.
Fig ...courthouses all over New England continue to maintain court records including trials, hearings, land and property purhcases and disputes, custody battles, and all other legal matters. Just as it is today, it WAS normative legal practice to record court proceedings of all kinds. In fact, it is largely through these very court records that Mormons pursue their obsession with geneology even today.
