Interrogatories are series of questions to be put to witnesses by one or other of the parties involved in a cause.
For example

Questions put to Thomas Pope, executor of the will: 'was it at the said...publication of it [the will], so blotted, erased and defaced as it now is...?' 'when and by whom and upon what occasion were the said erasures which are now in the said published will made...?' (DCb/PRC/40/1).
