Each file generally corresponds to a legal term.
The surviving files are numbered on a systematic basis. The first element is a reign number, running from 1 (Elizabeth I). The second is regnal year, the third represents the term within the year. The numbers used to represent the different terms varies from reign to reign, according to the point in the calendar year at which the new monarch succeeded to the throne.
Docket rolls of writs of habeas corpus are in KB 164
