Drafts from the chambers of Chancery Master Watkin-Williams. The series does include material generated by his predecessors and inherited by him. The predecessors of Master Robert Thesiger Watkin-Williams (1910-1932) in his role as a Master/Chief Clerk were Master Charles Burney (1877-1909), Master Edmund Boyle Church (1864-1876) and, for causes with initial letters A-F, Master George Whiting (1852-1863). |

| Arrangement: |
The drafts are arranged under the initial letter of the action concerned, each set of chambers being allocated cases falling within a particular division; eg G-N. In a few cases, drafts relate to actions falling outside the chambers main concern, possibly because they were handled exceptionally or were dealt with specially during the vacation. |
