These rules were entered on motion by the plaintiff's attorney. Defendants not required to file special bail endorsed the writ, whereupon the court rule entered the defendant's (fictitious) appearance.

Each entry gives the title of the cause, the rule, the sheriff's fee, and the name of the plaintiff's attorney.
