HEport  for  tijc  ^ear  1896-7. 

Bead  at  the  Annual  Meetim/,  held  in  the  Audit  Boom  of  the 
Chetham  Hoqntal,  Manchester,   October  19th,  1897. 


Since  the  last  Annual  Meeting,  held  on  the  13th  October,  1896,  two 
volumes  have  been  delivered  to  the  Members.  Those  are  Vol. 
XXXIV.,  the  second  volume  of  the  Plundered  Ministers'  Accounts 
for  Lancashire  and  Cheshire  ;  and  Vol.  XXXV.,  the  second  volume 
of  Pleadings  and  Depositions  in  the  Duchy  Court  of  Lancashire 
in  the  time  of  Henry  VIII. 

The  First  of  these.  The  Minutes  of  the  Committee  for  the  relief 
of  Plundered  Ministers,  &c.,  relating  to  Lancashire  and  Cheshire 
between  the  dates  1654  and  1660,  is  in  continuation  of  Vol. 
XXVIIL,  and  has  been  edited,  as  was  that  volume,  by  Mr.  W.  A. 
Shaw.  The  value  and  importance  of  these  records  was  pointed  out 
in  the  last  Annual  Report,  and  the  Council  consider  that  their 
anticipations  have  been  fully  justified.  The  period  covered  by 
this  volume  is  perhaps  one  of  the  most  obscure  in  the  later  history 
of  the  two  counties,  and  anything  that  throws  further  light, 
particularly  on  ecclesiastical  matters,  is  welcome. 

The  Second  Volume,  Pleadings  and  Depositions  in  the  Duchy 
Court  of  Lancaster  in  the  time  of  Henry  VIIL,  has  been  edited  by 
the  President,  Lt.-Col.  Henry  Fishwick,  F.S.A.,  and  gives  us  an 
interesting  picture  of  many  phases  of  the  social  life  of  Lancashire 
during  the  early  part  of  the  sixteenth  century. 


iv  Report  of  the  Society. 

These  two  volumes  were  issued  to  Members  during  the  spring 
of  this  year,  so  that  the  Council  are  able  to  record  again  that  the 
publications  of  the  Society,  so  long  in  arrear,  have  been  issued 
up  to  date,  and  for  the  first  time  for  many  years,  have  been  thus 
able  to  pay  all  outstanding  accounts,  and  so  get  rid  of  a  misleading 
credit  balance,  and  show  their  true  financial  position,  which,  the 
Council  think,  the  Members,  on  reference  to  the  Balance- Sheet, 
will  see  is  a  satisfactory  one. 

For  the  current  year,  Colonel  Fishwick  is  editing  a  third  and 
final  volume  of  the  Pleadings  and  Depositions  in  the  Duchy 
Court  of  Lancaster  for  the  reigns  of  Edward  VI.  and  Mary.  The 
work  is  well  advanced,  and  should  be  ready  for  issue  to  the 
Members  about  Easter.  The  Rev.  J.  H.  Stanning  continues  his 
valuable  and  interesting  Royahst  Composition  Papers,  another 
volume  of  which  is  now  in  the  press,  and  should  be  ready  about 
the  same  time. 

The  works  that  the  Council  have  in  view  for  the  near  future 
are — first,  a  Calendar  of  Assize  Rolls  for  Lancashire  down  to  the 
reign  of  Edward  L,  on  which  Major  Parker  is  now  engaged,  and 
which  the  Council  think  will  be  a  most  valuable  addition  to  the 
printed  records  of  the  County ;  and,  secondly.  Feet  of  Fines  or  Final 
Concords,  Richard  I.  to  Edward  III.,  to  be  edited  by  Mr.  William 
Farrar,  which  should  prove  also  of  the  greatest  interest.  The 
choice  of  these  two  volumes  has  been  decided  upon,  in  pursuance 
of  a  resolution  made  by  the  Council  last  year,  to  pay  more 
attention  to  an  earlier  class  of  records  than  that  hitherto  dealt 
with  by  the  Society.  Mr.  W.  F.  Irvine  has  also  in  hand  the 
earliest  Ordination  Book  of  the  Bishop  of  Chester,  and  a  portion 
of  this  is  now  in  type.  There  will  not,  however,  be  enough  to 
make  a  complete  volume  with  this  alone,  so  it  is  proposed  to  print 


Report  of  the  Society.  V 

with  it  an  Index  of  Wills  and  Administrations  now  preserved  at  the 
Diocesan  Registry,  Chester,  from  the  year  1620  to  the  year  1700. 
Mr.  W.  H.  Price,  who  compiled  the  Index  from  1487  to  1620, 
printed  in  volume  XXXIII.,  has  undertaken  the  laborious  task  of 
carrying  the  index  down  to  1700,  and  the  Council  is  glad  to  be 
able  to  report  that  this  is  now  complete  and  ready  for  the  press. 

The  Council  have  only  to  urge  once  more  on  each  individual 
member  the  great  importance  of  obtaining  fresh  subscribers  to  the 
Society,  if  the  good  work  which  it  has  done  so  long  is  to  be 
continued.

this    hook : — 

1.  In  some  cases  inventories  appear  to  have  become  detached 
from  the  original  wills,  and  so  have  been  placed  in  different  bundles 
and  indexed  under  different  years.  This  list,  however,  being  an 
alphabetical  one,  such  cases  will  be  speedily  detected,  and  it  will  be 
easy   to  replace  the  inventories  i?i  their  proper  places. 

2.  Where  the  word  "  Inv."  occurs,  it  probably  signifies  that  the 
deceased  had  died  intestate,  and  that  an  inventory  of  his  goods  had 
been  fled  and  administration  granted  to  his  representatives.  IVhere 
the  word  "  Admon  "  occurs,  it  shows  that  an  administration  bond  had 
been  fled  as  well.  In  all  other  cases  the  wills  themselves  are  extant, 
either  with  or  without  the  accompanying  inventories. 

3.  It  is  to  be  noted  that  in  the  Probate  Registry  of  Chester  the 
original  wills  up  to  1838  (and  not  official  transcripts,  as  in  many  other 
Probate  Registries)  are  those  shown  to  enquirers. 

4.  Owing  to  the  original  spelling  of  the  wills  having  been 
followed  in  the  MS.  Index,  and  allowing  for  possible  misreadings, 
enquirers  are  particularly  desired  to  search  for  any  name  bearing  a 
resemblance  to  that  for  which  they  are  looking,  as  for  example  Leigh 
for  Legh  or  Lee,  Newallfor  Nowall,  Houghton  for  Haughton,  t5fc.,  t5fc. 

As  far  as  possible  this  has  been  indicated  by  cross  references  in  this 
list.  Words  now  spelt  with  an  i  at  this  time  frequently  were  spelt 
with  y. 

5.  This  list  contains  all  the  ivills,  inventories,  and  administration 
bonds  now  known  to  be  preserved  at  the  Probate  Registry,  Chester, 
between  the  years  1761  and  1780  inclusive.  It  is  in  continuation  of 
volumes  1,  4,  15,  18,  20,  22,  and  25  (Indices  to  the  Wills  and  Inventories 
now  preserved  at  Chester,  1545  to  1620,  1621  to  1650,  1660  to  1680, 
1681  to  1700,  1 70 1  to  1720,  1 72 1  to  1740,  and  1741  to  i']6oJ,  and 
will  be  followed  by  others,  bringing  the  lists  down  to  1800. 

6.  ///  an  Appendix  will  be  found  the  list  of  all  the  wills,  proved 
between  1761  and  1780,  in  which  the  amount  of  personalty  was  less 
than  ^40.  These  wills,  which  were  proved  in  the  Rural  Dean's 
Courts,  are  generally  called  "  Infra  "  wills,  and  there  are  none  known 
of  earlier  date  than  1660.  They  are  kept  distijict  from  the  other 
wills,  and  when  enquired  for  it  is  necessary  to  clearly  describe  them  as 
being  ^^  Infra  "  and  not  ordinary   wills.
