Scope and Content

A book of legal precedents, 1782-1788, containing notes of legal opinions and of cases heard before numerous courts, including those of King's Bench and the Montgomeryshire Great Sessions, together with transcripts of legal documents.
The volume was probably compiled by John Hughes of Llain-wen, Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd, Denbighshire, notes and transcripts relating to whose articles of clerkship (with John Dickin of Welshpool, 1781, and with George Griffin of Lincoln's Inn, 1785) are found on pp. 95-114. A portion of the volume was 'Copied out of Mr Dickin's Manuscript Book' (p. 94); transcripts of an affidavit of service of John Hughes and of his admission as attorney at the Court of King's Bench, both 1787, have been tipped in at the end of the volume (pp. 119-122).
