order books, to be known as the common law order book and the
chancery order book, in which shall be recorded, in the common law
order book, all proceedings, orders and judgments of the court in all
matters at common law, and in the chancery order book, all decrees
and decretal orders of such court, in matters of equity, and all matters
pertaining to trusts, the appointment and qualification of trustees,
committees, administrators, executors and guardians, except when the
same are appointed by the clerk of such court, in which event the order
appointing such administrators or executors, shall be made by the
