They deal with matters re. cases being heard by the Court of Chancery including fees, payments, decisions, and the transmittal of documents, instructions and orders. They are often addressed to solicitors, Justices of the Peace, Sheriffs, and individuals involved in the cases. They are arranged in chronological order.
