Scope and Content Note
This series consists of one volume of handwritten forms to be used as models for various types of orders, decrees, and writs issued by the Court of Chancery. A law of 1803 allowed the Court to determine and change the form of all orders, decrees, and process it issued. The elimination of or changes in a form is noted through annotations on the forms or in the margins. These annotations often cite the date and the court rule mandating the change.
