Summary/Abstract: Based on the list of the manorial estate court of the Valpovo manorial estate, the paper describes the convicts of the Valpovo manor in the first half of the 19th century. The paper provides a brief overview of the history of the Valpovo manor until 1848, as well as the determinants of the judiciary and court practice in the area of Banska Hrvatska and Virovitica County in the first half of the 19th century. Data from sources on convicts were analyzed using descriptive statistics methods, showing the number of convicts, gender and age structure and their differentiation according to place of birth, year of crime, status (marital status, occupation and / or nationality) and confessional structure (exclusively for the period from 1843 to 1847). Also, data on recidivists and convicts were presented with reference to the criminal offenses of abortion and infanticide. The work is limited in time due to the preservation of sources on convicts and covers the period from 1812 and 1816 to 1847.
