All types of legal appeals are included here, from abatements to wills, and including liability, bonds, slaves, executors and administrators, grants, guardians, wards, variances, etc. The "Table of Cases Reported" lists the cases alphabetically by appellant. There is also a "Table of the Principal Matters" which gives the decisions handed down in the main cases, arranged alphabetically by type of case, with cross references to names of the parties involved. A new full-name index has been added.
