Most of these documents are writs of fieri facias (executions) issued out of the Supreme Court of Judicature as far back as 1838 and returned to the Court of Appeals as late as 1861. Other post-1847 documents include satisfaction pieces; orders to transfer Chancery case papers to the Supreme Court clerk in a particular county; a few orders; and miscellaneous documents.

These records were transferred to the State Archives by the Court of Appeals in 1982 but became estranged from the original accession for some unknown reason until they were identified and accessioned as part of the 11th floor renovation and relocation project.
