C 2261633-1714Chancery: Petty Bag Office: Enrolments of Laws, Adjudications, Orders and Appointments Relating to Commissions of Sewers
A series of rolls recording laws and adjudications made by commissioners of sewers, either as they stood or as confirmations and exemplifications.
The original documents on which these enrolments were based are now in C 225. The series also includes copies of commissions appointing commissioners of sewers.
The last document to be enrolled was an order made by Lord Chancellor Cowper on 14 March 1714, following the receipt of a petition of protest from the owners of land in Deeping Fen, Lincolnshire; the chancellor ordered that a recent adjudication of the commissioners of sewers for that area had been defective, and that the filing of the adjudication was to be stayed.
