Notes

The Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery was established in 1831. In 1851 it was replaced by the Circuit Court.

For 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.

Volumes are individually indexed.
