Handwriting has faded in places.
The Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery was established in 1831 and replaced in 1851 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. Orders are judgments based on those laws.
Volumes are individually indexed (index for v. 3 at back of book).
