Entry-book kept by two lawyers of all the various deeds and documents prepared by them in the course of their business, Jan 1672 to Jan 1688 and Jun 1704 to Aug 1710
Arranged by months under the several years; the first part extending (in engrossing hand) from Jan. 1671/2 to Jan. 1687/8, and the second from June, 1704, to August, 1710.
An index of names is prefixed, and amongst some mixed memoranda fastened in at the end of the volume (fols. 122–133) are several petitions for relief addressed to the churchwardens of Christ Church, Newgate Street, and notes of orders respecting burials, which would seem to show that the writer of the second part lived in that parish.
