William Hamilton Bryson, University of Richmond

Abstract

This book includes reports of the judges' opinions but not orders and decrees. Robert Price reported many exchequer cases from the time when he sat as a baron of this court. His manuscript reports have not heretofore been printed, and those cases from the equity side of the court are now published herein. Edward Ward's extensive exchequer reports date. from 1660 to 1713. Ward reported numerous equity exchequer cases, and they are printed here for the first time; they constitute a significant increase in the quantity and quality of the case law from the exchequer in the seventeenth century.
