Detailed Description
Scope and Content Note
This series consists of manuscript rough minutes compiled by the clerk of the original Court of Appeals during the period from July 1847 to June of 1870. Also included are rough minutes compiled by the clerk of the temporary Commission of Appeals during the period from July of 1870 to June of 1875. The minutes document the commencement of business in the newly created Court of Appeals in 1847 and contain the original twenty-seven rules governing practice in the court. Daily business recorded includes names of judges and judges ex officio present in court, followed by motions, arguments (references to, rather than transcripts of), decisions, and orders rendered in each case taken up by the court.
