Description (What the record is about)

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.
