The six clerks received and filed all bills, answers, depositions, pleas, replications, and other records in causes on the equity side of Chancery, and entered memoranda of them in books.
They also compiled rule books, which were for the entry of 'rules' to produce witnesses and to pass publication of the evidence, and office fee books, which contain details of the fees exacted by the six clerks for the enrolment of letters patent and as a consequence of their status as nominal controllers of the Hanaper.
The series also includes a copy of the treatise by Nathaniel Bladen on the antiquity and constitution of the Six Clerks Office (1701).
