The satisfaction piece is an acknowledgment by a winning party that a judgment in his favor has been satisfied.
The acknowledgment is signed by the winning party in a cause (or his attorney) and acknowledged before a judge or commissioner of deeds. The series includes a few powers of attorney and certificates of satisfaction by the clerk of the Supreme Court. Satisfaction pieces are often found on printed forms as part of the Judgment Rolls. Laws of 1811, 1813, and 1829 specify the procedure for acknowledging a satisfaction of judgment.
