1896 Original Judicial Manuscript (6 pages) with Austro-Hungarian Imperial fiscal seals, Country of Origin: Hungary.
Description from the seller
The object is a case file or judicial and notarial correspondence consisting of several pages, dated March 1896.
Main Details and Context
The letterhead indicates 'K. K. BEZIRKSGERICHT LOBOSITZ' (Imperial and Royal District Court in Lovosice). Lovosice (Lobositz in German) is a city currently located in the Czech Republic, but in 1896 it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (K.K. = Kaiserlich-Königlich).
The entry postmark of the Court on the main document (IMG_7622) is 'PRÄS. 27. III. 1896' (March 27, 1896).
The correspondence appears to be a report or a request from a lawyer (J. U. Dr. Josef Kolb, Advokat in Lobositz) addressed to the District Court.
Subject: The main body of the text concerns a matter of property, inheritance, or real estate ('Realitäten-Papieren'), mentioning individuals such as Herrn Josef Kolb Erben (the heirs of Mr. Josef Kolb), Herrn Friedrich Pável & Herrn Josef Knötzsch, and references to land parcel numbers ('Grundbüchern') and parcel numbers like Kg. 181, 188, 222, 223, 224, etc., as well as land registry numbers 'EZ/C. 250', 'EZ/C. 272'.
Fiscal/Postage Stamps: The cover letter has a strip of stamps affixed at the top, which are fiscal or judicial stamps of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, used for paying fees or taxes on legal documents. This is common in documents from that era.
