This series consists of appointments of agents filed with the Clerk of the 2nd Chancery Circuit by solicitors. The rule of the court required every solicitor in chancery to appoint in writing an agent in every city or town where the Register, Assistant Register and Chancery Circuit Clerks maintained offices. The agent had the authority to service papers for the solicitor, or a person authorized by the Chancellor. Each appointment contains the name of the agent, date of appointment, place of residence, and the signatures of the appointing solicitor.
