The Registers were maintained by the Registry of County Court Judgements, which was established under the County Courts Act 1852. Until 1861 entries relate to insolvent debtors seeking protection under the County Courts Act 1854. Following a change in practice under the Bankruptcy Act 1861, the Registry's responsibilities ceased until 1883 when entries were resumed in respect of debtors in bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Act 1883.
