 Manuscript Copy of Lane's Reports contains matter not in the printed

 Lord Chief Baron Gilbert's Treatise on Remainders and Reversions.

 OF MANUSCRIPTS. 71

 I take it to have been by Lord C. Baron Gilbert, It is a far more copious 
 Treatise than what is to be found under tlie title ' Remainder' in the New 
 Abridgement ; tho' the Divisions in the latter are the same nearly as those 
 here, and the matter there is all included in this Manuscript. This appears 
 from a comparison of the Contents of the two, without going further ; for 
 the title ' Remainder' in the New Abridgement contains only forty-five pages 
 in print, whereas this contains 226" pages in manuscript ; and upon taking 
 two pages of the latter for one of the former, which I think is a liberal al- 
 lowance, the calculation will make the Manuscript nearly three times as large 
 as the printed Treatise. The Introduction here is not in the printed Book.

 " This and the six succeeding Volumes are a Transcript of Lord Hale's 
 History of the Pleas of the Crown from the original Manuscript in his own 
 hand-writing. The printed Book was from the latter with such Corrections

 this Transcript in seven small folio Volumes of Mr. Deighton the book- 
 seller; and he bought them of the personal representatives of the late Mr. 
 Lockyer Davis. What is now become of the volume containing the original 
 Manuscript I have not yet heard.

 Num. 324. 
 
 A thin Volume in quarto, upon paper : of which a Manuscript Note 
 in Mr. Hargrave's hand, gives the following Account : 
 
 " This Book contains an Account in the nature of a Journal of the Pro- 
 ceedings of, and Speeches in the House of Commons in the Parliament 
 which first met in 1592 and was dissolved 10"". April 1593. The printed 
 Journals of the Commons are without any matter for that Parliament. 
 But both D'Ewes's and Townshend's Collections include its Proceedings. 
 However the Account here is not transcribed from either, but is quite dis- 
 tinct, and by another hand. 
 
 " In some parts the word desunt is inserted ; whence it appears that the 
 Account is sometimes deficient. 
 
 " The author of this Account appears to have been a Member ot the 
 Commons, see fol. 5 b. 
 
 " In p. 470 of Sir Simons D'Ewes's Book he professes making occasional 
 use of an anonymous Journal ; and this seems to be the same. See fol. 
 19 b. and compare it with p. 481 of D'Ewes. I find also that sometimes 
 the Speeches in Townshend aie the same as here. But there are many 
 Speeches and much other matter not in Townshend, and this probably is 
 also applicable in some degree to D'Ewes. The Arguments on the Case 
 of Mr. Fitzherbert as to inelegibility from Outlawry are more full here 
 than in Townshend. Particularly there is a Speech of two or three sides 
 by the Speaker on the 2'' of March 1592, which in Townshend is whoUy 
 omitted. See fol. 20. Upon the whole there seems to me eight or nine 
 times more matter here than in Townshend."

 OF MANUSCRIPTS. 127 
 
 4:36—480. 
 
 They are divided into Six Portions, or Parts, as follow. 
 
 The First Part of the Collection, Num. ^SG to Num. 447 inclusive, con- 
 tains Sir Thomas Sewell's References to Equity Cases. In it the Cases re- 
 ferred to are thrown together in a digested way, under various divisions or 
 titles of Equity, which are not placed alphabetically, but were probably 
 adopted by Sir Thomas from time to time as he found it convenient. The 
 want of Alphabetical Order is compensated by an Index in another Part of 
 the Collection which will presently be noticed. 
 
 The twelve Volumes which form tliis Portion of the Collection are let- 
 tered alphabetically from A. to M. 
 
 At the top of each page in each Volume is written a Division on some 
 general head or title of Equity. Under this division are placed references 
 to such Cases in the printed Reports, or in any Manuscript Notes in his pos- 
 session as Sir Thomas Sewell thought applicable to it. The Titles of Equity 
 andDivisions upon them adopted in the course of these Volumes are so various> 
 and the references are so numerous and well classed upon each division, that 
 the reader may in general expect to find almost every authority to be met 
 with on each subject in the printed Equity Reports prior to Lord Hard- 
 wicke's having the Great Seal, or in the IVIanuscript Notes of Cases in Equity 
 during his Lordship's time as Lord Chancellor and for some Years before. 
 The IP. Part of the Collection, Num. 448 to 462 inclusive, contains Sir 
 Tliomas Sewell's Abridgement of Equity Cases, in fifteen Volumes : marked 
 alphabetically from A. to N. in the same manner in which the original bun- 
 dles were marked in Sir Thomas Sewell's hand, whence, with permission from 
 his Administrators, they were transcribed. 
 
 The III''. Part of the Collection is comprised in a single Volume, Num. 
 463. It contains an Aljdiabetical Index to the Titles and Divisions both in 
 Sir Thomas Sewell's Equity References, and in his Equity Abrido-ement. 
 
 It consists of two divisions. The first and smallest is a mere alphabe- 
 tical Index of general Heads or Titles of Equity, with a reference to the 
 Page in which each head or title is to be found. The second and principal 
 part (which, except at the latter end of the Volume where some new heads 
 or titles with divisions upon them, or new divisions upon titles before adopted, 
 are placed by way of Supplement,) is also alphabetical. It contains, not 
 only the Heads or Titles of Equity, but the Division upon each of them. 
 It further contains two columns ; of which the first refers to the same Div!=

 43(3—480. 
 
 sion in Sir Tliomas's Equity References, and the second, which for the sake 
 of a more strong distinction is in red ink, applies to the same Division in his 
 Equity Abridgement. Thus, under the general head or title Wills, one 
 of the divisions is, " In what Cases and of what things a married Woman 
 may make a Will ;" which is followed with a reference in black ink to A. 96. 
 in the first column, and a reference in red ink to 47 H. in the second 
 column : the former reference meaning the 8"". Volume of References 
 marked A. page 96. and the latter to the twelfth division of the Volume 
 marked H. of the Equity Abridgement. 
 The IV"'. Part of tlie Collection consists of twelve Volumes, Num. 464 to 
 475. Of these, the first Six Volumes are Copies of Notes in manuscript of 
 the late Mr. Capper, who was a practising Barrister of eminence and exten- 
 sive business in Chancery during the whole time of Lord Hardwicke's being 
 Chancellor, and for some few Years before and after. Two of the six Vo- 
 lumes, (beside the regular number of the Manuscript) are marked A. N". 1. 
 and A. N°. 2. and cited accordingly both in Sir Thomas Sewell's Equity Re- 
 ferences and in his Abridgement. The other four are referred to by Sir 
 Thomas as N°. 1. 2. 3. 4. 
 
 These Notes by Mr. Capper reach from Michaelmas 1724 to December 
 1754. which latter time was about one year and a half before Lord Hard- 
 wicke's resignation of the great Seal. The next three Volumes are copies 
 of Manuscript Notes by the late Lord Chief Justice de Gray during part of 
 the time he practised in Chancery. They begin with July 1751 and end 
 with June 1754. They are numbered 5. 6. 7. as a continuation, in point of 
 reference, of the four last of Mr. Capper's Note-Books ; and by those Num- 
 bers they are always cited by Sir Thomas Sewell. The next Volume of the 
 Notes, Number 473. is lettered Perryn. It contains at the beginning a 
 long Note of the Case of Green and Rutherford, which was heard in Chan- 
 cery in 1749-50. and relates to the power of Visitors over Donations. The 
 remainder of the Volume is expressed to contain copies of various Notes by 
 Mr. Perryn, afterwards Mr. Baron Perryn. These Notes chiefly consist of 
 Chaiicery Cases between November 1757 and December 1759, both inclu- 
 sive, during the latter part of which period Lord Northington hold the great 
 Seal. But there arc some few Common-Law-Cases; with a few Chancery 
 Cases, taken by Mr. Baron Perryn in Lord Hardwicke's time, particularly the 
 famous Case of Willoughby and Willoughby in June 1756. being one of the 
 latest Cases determined by his Lordship ; and one in which he largely en-

 tered into the doctrine concerning the right of protection from terms of 
 Years to attend the Inheritance. The next Volume Num. 4'74'. is entituled 
 " Notes of Cases determined in the Courts of Ciiancury and Kings Bench 
 from Michaelmas Term l?** to Trinity Term 1757." The last Volume ot 
 this Portion of the Manuscripts, contains, 1. Sir Thomas Sewell's Alphahc- 
 tical Index to Cases in Briefs and Manuscript Notes, p. 1 — 71. 2. Tran- 
 scripts of Loose Papers, containing some General Rules on a few Heads of 
 Equity, p. 73 — H?. 3. An Account of SirThomas Sewell's Manuscripts 
 by Mr. Hargrave. From which last, with such variations as seemed neces- 
 sary to the Transcripts made for Mr. Hargrave, the present account of the 
 Sewell Manuscripts has been principally obtained. 
 
 The V"'. Branch of the Collection consists of Three Volumes, Num. 476 
 to 478, containing Notes of Cases from Sir Thomas Sewell's loose papers. 
 
 The VI"". Part of the Collection consists of two Volumes, Num. 479 and 
 480. The first, contains Exti'acts from Sir Thomas Sewell's Briefs with his 
 Notes of the Judgements from Hil. 1740 to Jan. 1760. The second Volume 
 contains similar Extracts and Notes of Judgements from Jan. 1760 to Nov. 
 1 764. With some of earlier date. 
 
 Num. 481. 
 
 A Volume in quarto, on paper; consisting of Cases: beginning

 of Eton College, and the same College, against the Bishop of Win- 
 chester and Thomas Fountaine Clerk, in C. B. Hil. 1774. A Case of 
 Quare impedit. 
 
 At the beginning of the Volume is this Note in Mr. Hargrave's hand- 
 writing. " The Cases in this Volume are copied from a Book belonging to 
 Charles Butler, Esquire, who was so obliging as to permit my having a 
 Copy. Most of the Notes, I apprehend, were taken by Mr. Butler, except 
 the Case of Jones and Morgan, which I understand to have been copied from 
 a Short-hand-Writer's Note."
