J 371855-1907Chancery and Supreme Court of Judicature, High Court of Justice, Chancery Division: Master Ridsdale's Miscellaneous Books
Miscellaneous Books transferred from the chambers of Master Arthur Francis Ridsdale, who served in the Chancery Division of the High Court from 1912 until his death in 1935. The series does include material generated by his predecessors and inherited by him. The predecessors of Master Arthur Francis Ridsdale (1912-1935) in his role as a Master/Chief Clerk were Master Henry Templar Prior (1907-1911), Master William Binns Smith (1874-1906) and, for causes with initial letters A-F, Master Alfred Hall (1852-1873).
These books relate mainly to accounts arising from the administration of estates and to company winding-up proceedings.
