Scope and Content Note

This series consists of court calendars prepared by the Register for the Chancellor. Each calendar contains the month and year of the court term. Entries consist of a priority number (starting at "1"), the names of the complainant and defendant, the date the case was begun, the method by which the case reached the hearing stage (e.g., bill confessed, demurrer, bill and answer), and the names of the solicitors. Each calendar is divided into four sections for the four priority classifications (1st class - bills taken as confessed; 2nd class - plea and demurrer; 3rd class - bill and answer; 4th class - pleading and proof).
