Summary:
This series contains common rules for interlocutory or final judgments when a defendant failed to enter a plea to the plaintiff's declaration and therefore was in default. The rules (or orders) were made on motion of the plaintiff's attorney. Most grant the plaintiff an interlocutory judgment and direct a county clerk to assess and report the damages due. Each entry gives the title of the cause, the rule granting the plaintiff interlocutory or final judgment, and the amount of award.
