Chancery and Supreme Court of Judicature, High Court of Justice, Chancery Division:...

J 32

1850-1909

Miscellaneous Books transferred from the chambers of Master Robert Thesiger Watkin-Williams, who served in the Chancery Division of the High Court from 1910 until 1932. The series does include material generated by his predecessors and inherited by him. The predecessors of Master Robert Thesiger Watkin-Williams (1910-1932) in his role as a Master/Chief Clerk were Master Charles Burney (1877-1909), Master Edmund Boyle Church (1864-1876) and, for causes with initial letters A-F, Master George Whiting (1852-1863).

Many of the books arise from business in connection with the making of court orders. Other material includes accounts in suits, registers of creditors' claims and company winding-up matters.

Books have been broadly arranged according to the type of information they contain. They are listed mostly by the initial letter of the action concerned.
