These volumes index notices of pending actions (suits) in Equity Court that were filed in the office of the clerk of the city and county of New York from December 1823 to December 1855. The six volumes are part of an eight-volume set that was published in 1857 (under direction of the Commissioners of Records, pursuant to chapter 407 of the laws of 1855) as "Indices to Notices of Suits in Equity." Each index entry includes name of defendant(s), name of complainant(s), and date of notice.
While individual volumes index notices by defendant last name, entries within a given letter of the alphabet are arranged chronologically. An alphabetical name index to defendants appears at the fore of each volume. Volumes 3 and 4 (including defendant names ending in letters E through K) are missing from the set.
