Unpublished finding aids (A note of unpublished indexes, lists or guides to the record)
- Original indexes survive from 1671 in IND 1/16860-16861, 16867-16891. From 1689 both original orders and the entries of orders share a common numerical sequence, in which each order within the term carries a unique reference number. The indexes can thus be used not only as a means of reference to the original orders, for which they were compiled, but also as a direct means of reference to the entry books. The indexes give the surnames of the first named plaintiff and defendant. From 1805 the indexes are alphabetically arranged; before then, they are in numerical sequence within the term, in a random alphabetical arrangement. There are no indexes for the periods 1661-1671, 1680-1686.
