Court of Requests: Book of ORDERS, FINAL ORDERS, DECREES, MEMORANDA (Mich 36/37 Eliz I - Hil 38 Eliz I)

Contributed by Dave King


This volume contains details of orders, decrees and memoranda of the Court of Requests, covering terms Mich 36/37 Eliz I - Hil 38 Eliz I (ie Oct 1594 - March 1596). For further information see The National Archives Catalogue and The National Archives Research Guide

Conventions used

It is important to recognise that this is NOT a transcript, but rather a list to assist in identifying appropriate entries.

Names

The formatting and spelling of surnames follow the original, but first names have been modernised.

Dates

The modern form of dates is given. It should be noted that entries in the original are not always individually dated, however the sequential nature of the entries allows confidence in applying dates to individual rows in the table.

Notes/Comments

These have been added wherever it is felt that further information is available which would assist in identifying suits. These notes summarise, rather than transcribe. Most additional personal and place names encountered have been added to this column, except those of counsel, which are omitted. It should be noted that repetitive wording such as in the case of orders for dismissal 'unless complt (or deft) show good reason to the contrary' & similar, have been truncated to 'unless complt/deft show...'.

Guidance on locating images

Links have now been added to allow direct reference to the original entries. Please note that odd and even numbered pages are held in different sequences, thus where a case runs across more than one page, links are provided in the table to all the pages in the correct order. Always use the links provided in the table, please DO NOT use the forward or backward arrows on the images themselves as they will take you to the next/previous image in the odd/even sequence

Lists

(Note that some of this material has been previously published on the Your Archives wiki of The National Archives.)

Listings of the cases covered by this volume are available as follows:


  • Hillary Term 37 Eliz I, pages 229 - 353, covering the dates 23 January to 22 February 1594/5 (with two entries from April & May 1595 out of sequence). There are two consecutive chronological sequences, each covering the whole period of the Hillary Term. Pages 229 - 289 are generally short entries, comprising orders and memoranda, and appear to be recording straightforward court business, with little if any detail of the cause or the persons involved. Pages 291 - 353 start again at 27 January, and generally comprise more substantial entries of orders and decrees, often providing additional details of the cause and the persons involved.
