Papers, the bulk of which were 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 papers relate mainly to actions concerning the administration of estates and include a number of pedigrees. There are also papers arising from company winding-up proceedings. |
