Note (Additional information about the record)
- The writs in this section are all in one way or another connected with the transfer of records or other types of documents. Some require their addressee to produce in Chancery writs, letters patent or charters which had themselves been issued by Chancery or which purported to have been issued by Chancery: writs obtained by deception or which should not have been issued, (E.g. File 1 nos. 4, 7A; File 2 nos. 2, 8, 36.) writs or letters patent whose genuiness was doubted, (E.g. File 2 nos. 3-5, 11.) charters which were to be cancelled. (E.g. File 4 no. 7.) Others require the production in Chancery of various other types of official record: statute merchant rolls for Winchester, (File 1 no. 7.) records relating to a case heard in Chancery and said to be in the possession of a former chancellor, (File 2 no. 12B.) the rolls and other records of a deceased justice, (File 2 no. 7.) account rolls of the receivers of a recently deceased queen, (File 2 no. 31.) records of justices of labourers (File 2 nos. 19-22, 35.) and (though only for onward transmission to the Exchequer) of justices of assize, oyer and terminer and gaol delivery. (File 2 nos. 26-30A; File 3 no. 4.) Sometimes it was private deeds relating to property whose production was required: (E.g. File 1 no. 8; File 3 nos. 1, 9.) on occasion this was in order that they might then be handed over in Chancery to some other party. (E.g. File 3 no. 5; File 4 nos. 3, 4.) Several writs require ecclesiastical documents to be produced in Chancery: these include a papal bull relating to Peter's Pence, (File 1 no. 14.) a bishop's register, (File 3 no. 13.) and papal bulls or processes thought to be prejudicial to royal rights. (E.g. File 2 no. 34; File 3 nos. 14, 16, 18; File 4 no. 29.) On other occasions, Chancery had only an indirect interest in the required transfer: records of local justices were ordered to be sent into the Exchequer in accordance with 9 Edward III st.1. c.5 unless reasonable cause for not doing so was given to Chancery, (File 2 nos. 13-18, 23-25.) private deeds were to be surrendered to certain named persons unless reasonable cause for not doing so could be shown in Chancery, (File 3 nos. 6, 7; File 4 nos. 6, 10, 19.) or copies of libels were to be delivered to persons requesting such copies, in accordance with the statute of 2 Henry V, unless due cause could be shown for not doing so. (File 4 nos. 26, 27.)
