...hardly of interest...
"In the police court business is brisk in the extreme, but the cases, if reported in detail, would hardly be of interest to outside readers ; but the judicial duties of this place are daily increasing, and there are at the present time five inmates at the lock-up incarcerated on charges ranging from felony to petty larceny.
May 1,1871."

This is just not true! (Don't you hate it when they do that?)

Yes, the newspaper clearly robbed later generations of a wide range of small details which could've helped to build the bigger picture.
My wealthy ancestors left a paper trail a mile long, the poor ones are virtually invisible.
