Scope and Content Note

This series consists of the signed oaths of office taken by attorneys of the Supreme Court of Judicature and by solicitors and counsellors in Chancery.

Each roll contains at least the text of one or more oaths and a list of signatures and dates. Most rolls contain one oath pertaining to one office. A number of rolls, however, contain a number of different oaths or the same oath repeated for solicitors and counsellors in Chancery. The oaths of attorneys of the Supreme Court of Judicature generally do not appear on the same roll with solicitors and counsellors.
