Summary/Abstract: The author presents a set of documents originating from an authority of the first instance—“Judecătoria singulară a cercului Bârgău”—from the period of the Năsăud District (1861–1876).The documents provide a more truthful image, both in the local events register and in the moregeneral Transylvanian one of the facts and events of the past close to the time when the documentswere drawn up, still present in the collective memory, concerning the turbulent years 1848–1849.This fact is also explicable by the obligation of the actants to ”tell the truth” and much more besides, as they came with a whole and open heart to share justice—proof and encouragement for further research supported by such documentary testimonies.
