Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Index of Chancery Proceedings (Reynardson´s Division), Vol. 1: Preserved in the Public Record Office, 1649-1714 The Index, of which the first portion appears in the present volume, forms part of a scheme to arrange in lexicographical order and print the references to all the Chancery suits for a period of about sixty-five years, which are contained in the several Series or Divisions of Chancery Proceedings, known by the names of one or other of the Six Clerks. From the end of the reign of Charles I. to the end of that of Queen Anne, that is to say, from about 1640 to 1714 inclusive, the proceedings in Chancery arc indexed in thirty-two manuscript volumes, the suits in each volume being roughly arranged under plaintiff names. Four of these volumes refer to the Division of Collins, six to that of Mitford, six to that of Reynardson, four to that of Whittington, six to that of Bridges and five to that of Hamilton, the last volume, relating to a miscellaneous collection from all six Divisions. The Indexes to Reynardson´s Division have been first taken in hand, (or the reason chat it contains the smallest number of bundles, namely, 487, but, as the bundles vary much in size - some containing sixty suits only, and others as many as 150 - it is not by any means certain that the aggregate number of suits here indexed is smaller than in any of the other Divisions. The great expenditure of time necessary to go through these thirty-two volumes to find a suit which may be wanted, has no doubt prevented many persons from making extensive searches in this class of documents at the Public Record Office, and it may not be generally known that from these Chancery suits many a pedigree can be worked out in a most complete manner. In one suit alone, the compiler was able to trace the ascent of the litigants for no less than five generations, with many ramifications in each generation, and three or four generations is no uncommon find. When the remaining Indexes of the Six Clerks´ Series are printed, the search will be wonderfully simplified, so that a list of suits that has hitherto taken weeks (or even months) to get out, will be accomplished in as many hours.
