Most of the documents in this series are notices of joinder in demurrer, in which the plaintiff states that the demurrer will be opposed and the court moved for judgment on the ground that the defendant's demurrer is frivolous. There are also a few special motions for appointment of commissioners to admeasure dower, for stay of proceedings, for issuance of writs of certiorari or mandamus, and other actions. Earlier Geneva motion papers appear to have been lost.
