Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook to the Ancient Courts of Probate and Depositories of Wills I have attempted in these pages to form a calendar of all the Courts exercising Testamentary Jurisdiction prior to 1858, when their records were, by an Act of Parliament, 20 and 21 Victoria, cap. 77, transferred to the Court of Probate. The information here given is based upon the Returns of Courts empowered to grant Probates of Wills, made to Parliament, and ordered to be printed 30 May, 1828, 16 April, 1829, 26 March, 1830, and 27 February, 1832; and also upon the "Index of Courts of which the Records, etc., have been transmitted to the Court of Probate; also, a List of the Registries of the Court of Probate, etc., March, 1862," 4, a work, so far as I know, only issued to the Registrars of the District Registries created by the Act of 1858. The form of this book is similar to that Index. The number of Courts noticed in this book is about 325. The materials at my command, though somewhat out of date, have been utilized to the best of my ability, aided by the kind cooperation of the Registrars of some of the District Registries, and such private inquiry as I have been able to make. The object of these pages is to show at a glance the date of the earliest known Record, Will, Administration, or Inventory, as the case may be, in each Court, which is indicated by the date in the first column; the name of the Court, and the localities subject to it, in the second: and the present place of deposit of the Records in the third. Those who consult them will be the best judges as to how far this object has been attained. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
