E 17
1780-1855
Warrants given to attorneys by defendants empowering them to concede cases to plaintiffs or allow judgement by default, and cognovits by which defendants formally confessed actions and agreed that judgement could be signed against them. Most cases were of debt.
Many warrants include a signed memorandum laying down the financial terms for a settlement and the provisions in case of default.
From 1803 to 1830 the records are filed alphabetically under years, but subsequently they are filed by date.
