Commonplace Book from Stannery Court Library, Wales, 1817
Scope and Contents
This commonplace book, written in 1817, contains abstracts from the sixth edition of Charles Fearne's An Essay on the Learning of Contingent Remainders and Executory Devises edited by Charles Butler, and from the third edition of Francis Williams Sanders' An Essay on Uses and Trusts. It is in at least two hands and may have been written over a period of years.
The volume came from the Library of the Stannary Court in Wales. The Stannary Courts date from the thirteeth century when they were established by King John to resolve issues of ownership and control of mining. In 1896 they were abolished and their responsibilities transferred to new county courts.
