I NT RO DUCTI O N ’ T H E - c a twenty third volume of the Society s publications , whi h p e are d 1 8 1 a p in 9 , contains a List of the L ncashire Wills proved at m 1 8 e n d 1 2 Lancaster fro 74 to the of 7 9 , and of Halton Wills 1 2 . 1 8 1 2 to 7 9 The present volume continues the li st down to , the latest date allowed for present publication . The Wills of the fi ve Western Deaneries of the Archdeaconry of Rich mond ceased to be proved at Lancaster in 1 85 7 (see & I . & & & . Introductions to Vols , II I , and I I ) Th e Wills in this volume are at Lancaster, where all the Lancashire Wills proved in the Archdeaconry of Rich mond since c m 1 74 8 are deposited . Th e Ri h ond Wills previous to that 1 8 m . date were , in 74 , oved to Somerset House Upon a recent c a c c appli ation by the Yorkshire Arch eologi al So iety , the Wills m relating to the Eastern Rich ond Deaneries of Borough bridge , m ’ Catterick , and Rich ond were transferred from Somerset House to the District Probate Registry at York . At the time o f the application it was suggested that this So ciety should apply for c the transfer, to Lan aster, of the Lancashire portion of the m m c Rich ond Wills at So erset House , but th e Coun il declined to do so as it was considered that the docu ments were more c onveniently accessible in London (where there is a skilled body c o f professional searchers and trans ribers) than at Lan caster . In the early part of the present year the Hon orary Secretary was informed that it was proposed to remove the Lancashire portion of the Richmond Wills to York (where the Yorkshire portion had already gone) , and upon inquiry at th e Principal Probate Registry it was found that the removal to York of the remaining Richmond Wills had been authorised but not yet carried out . Stron g protests were at once made by this Society and other Arch aeological Societies , to th e President of the Probate Division I n troductio n and also to the Royal Com missioners now sitting to inquire c e c into the ustody and preservation of public r ords , and it is satisfactory to be able to state that in consequence of these protests it was decided in February last that the Richmond Wills , other than those of th e Yorkshire Deaneries , should remain at Somerset House . This volume also includes a list of the Wills proved within the Peculiar of the Manor of Halton for the same period . They s E s . are very few , and since the death of William Brad haw , q 1 8 1 e ( Lord of the Manor of Halton) , in 5 , no Will has b en there proved . The Soci e ty is indebted to the Pre sident of the Probate Divi ' sion of His Majesty s High Court of J u stice for permission to e s s . permit thes indices , and I mu t also pe r onally thank B D . e Adam s , Esq , the District R gistrar at Lancaster , for kind assi stance .
