Docket books

Subseries forms part of Circuit records at Arichat series and consists of books used to record the commencement of civil cases before the court through the issuance of summons notifying defendants of the claims against them. The books record case numbers, parties, representation of the plaintiff, and documents issued and filed in connection with a cause. The first volume was also used as the County Court cause book and consequently the order appears confused when viewed on microfilm.

Judgment books

Subseries forms part of Circuit records at Arichat series and consists of books recording the awarding of judgments in civil cases heard by the Supreme Court while sitting at Arichat. The books record the parties to the case, the plaintiff's representation, the amount of judgment and costs awarded, as well as the text of the judgment. When judgments were satisfied or warrants of execution issued the books noted this as well, although their completeness is unknown. Most judgments arose when debts were not paid and were awarded by default when defendants failed to appear or contest the statement of claim. Such judgments tended to follow an almost standard wording that was later included in the judicature act as a legislated form. Some awards may include information relating to property boundaries when such matters were at the root of a cause and others resulted in recorded judgments uniquely worded according to the circumstances of the case. Most judgment books include indexes by plaintiff and defendant. The first book in this series predates the establishment of Richmond County in 1835 and refers to the court's jurisdiction as the Southern District of Cape Breton County. Another volume was also used by the Inferior Court of Common Pleas while sitting at Arichat. Court activity at Richmond declined greatly during the 20th century.
