A few words of explanation concerning terms used in these transcriptions. Some of these words are not used currently
and some of the terms are apparently shorthand for more complete terms.
Some I just plain don't know.
Capias-order to pick someone up
"ni si" -failure to appear
"si fa" or "si fi" - probably short for--scire facias-judgement against.
"Nolle prosequi" - Latin phrase meaning “will no longer prosecute”
