Notes
The Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery was established in 1831. It was sometimes known as the Superior Court of Law and Chancery. In 1851 it was replaced by the Circuit Court.
For most of these cases the court sat in chancery which meant it acted as a court of equity. Equity law is a body of legal and procedural rules and doctrines which supplement or override common and statute law to protect rights and enforce duties defined or fixed by substantive law. The court usually dealt with cases which did not need a jury, such as divorces or foreclosures.
Includes general indexes. Volumes are also indexed at the beginning of each volume.
