Record of filing of certain types of judgments and related documents, kept under the provisions of Wisconsin Laws of 1885, Chapter 200. Record shows number assigned on instrument; type of instrument (judgment, transcript of judgment, decree of foreclosure, or mechanic's lien); date and hour of docketing; names of plaintiff, defendant, and plaintiff's attorney; and, in most instances, amount adjudged due.
Where the instrument filed is a decree of foreclosure, the record also describes property affected. Many entries also contain suit number and/or the volume and page number where the instrument is recorded, in the following records: Judgment of Foreclosure Record (Pierce Series 15), or Court Record, Judgment Docket, or Order Book (records not held by the State Historical Society for these years).
