HANCERY Records. labour and researches promoted by the royal commissioners on public records, have led to the discovery of a great variety and number of unarranged records of the Court of Chancery. They have been found dispersed through the Recordoffice, the chapel, and the room in the White Tower, in lockers, drawers, and cupboards, as well as in the great heap (where many charters were also found), under the arch in the Tower of the city of London. They consist of partitions of lands, assignments of dower, writs of scire facias to repeal letters patent, with the pleading thereon; " of these latter documents there are 56 issued on behalf of Henry Prince of Wales, to repeal letters patent of queen Elizabeth, by which she had granted to divers persons several of the possessions of the Duchy of Cornwall."

When the records in the Tower were examined in 1800, by order of parliament, according

The great mass of unsorted records lying under the arch at the north-east corner of the White Tower, first discovered in the year 1809, have been taken out and sorted. The Chancery records, to the amount of upwards of seven thousand, have since been unfolded, cleaned, smoothed, and arranged in portfolios, under the names of the several chancellors; chiefly during the reigns of Henry 3rd, Henry 8th, Edward 6th, Philip and Mary, queen Elizabeth, and James 1st. There have already been found (observe the commissioners) the proceedings in eight
