+ | HCA 13 High Court of Admiralty: Instance and Prize Courts: Examinations and Answers 1536-1826 | ||
+ | |||
+ | - This series consists of examinations and answers relating mainly to the civil jurisdiction of the Court in instance and prize causes, although a few relate to criminal jurisdiction. An examination, in the legal sense, consisted of the statements or depositions made by a witness or accused person when examined, and is the the record of such statements. An answer, specifically in law, was the counter-statement made in reply to a complainant's bill of charges (such a bill in civil law being termed a libel) | ||
+ | |||
+ | The examinations cover 1536 to 1750, the answers 1577 to 1770, and the examinations on commission 1564 to 1678, with some extra material from 1694 to 1826. HCA 13/1 relates to the Vice-Admiralty of Norfolk and Suffolk, 1536 to 1537. Some volumes contain their own indexes. 272 bundles and volumes | ||

HCA 13 High Court of Admiralty: Instance and Prize Courts: Examinations and Answers 1536-1826
- This series consists of examinations and answers relating mainly to the civil jurisdiction of the Court in instance and prize causes, although a few relate to criminal jurisdiction. An examination, in the legal sense, consisted of the statements or depositions made by a witness or accused person when examined, and is the the record of such statements. An answer, specifically in law, was the counter-statement made in reply to a complainant's bill of charges (such a bill in civil law being termed a libel)
The examinations cover 1536 to 1750, the answers 1577 to 1770, and the examinations on commission 1564 to 1678, with some extra material from 1694 to 1826. HCA 13/1 relates to the Vice-Admiralty of Norfolk and Suffolk, 1536 to 1537. Some volumes contain their own indexes. 272 bundles and volumes

Coldham, Peter Wilson, English adventurers and emigrants, 1609-1660: abstracts of examinations in the High Court of Admiralty with reference to Colonial America (Baltimore, 1984)
- Wilson states in his preface that he has worked largely from the Examination Books, and has omitted merchants' accounts and balance sheets
- He observes that equity examination books are unfit for 1610-20, 1625-29, and 1645-47
- He observes:
- HCA 13/39-73: Examinations in equity causes; each volume covers a two year span; personal details of the deponents are in latin, but most text is in English. Entries are day by day, so details of one case may be stretched over a number of days and months
