C1085-2004Records created, acquired, and inherited by Chancery, and also of the Wardrobe, Royal Household, Exchequer and various commissions
The records are predominantly those of Chancery as the central legal administration of the Crown, and of the court of Chancery as a court of equity and as a common law court.
Also included, however, are many records acquired by Chancery in the course of its official business (either records deposited in Chancery as a government registry, or lodged as exhibits in lawsuits) which were not themselves Chancery records.
A few series consist wholly or partly of records of the Supreme Court of Judicature, the Privy Seal Office, and the Lord Chancellor's Department.
The following series numbers have not been used: C 19-20, C 87, C 130, C 155-170, C 174-180, and C 198-200.
