Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from A Guide to the Principal Classes of Documents: Preserved in the Public Record Office

It is obvious, however, that this description or definition of a Record applies only to records of a particular kind, and would exclude enrolments of many kinds and other. Public documents and memoranda of the greatest importance.

Attempts have been made to avoid this difficulty by drawing a distinction between a record and a thing recorded.

Thus it has been held that a deed or a decree enrolled was not a record but a deed or decree recorded not an actual record but a matter of record or entered and preserved as of record.

Such subtleties may, however, be altogether neglected in dealing with the muniments placed, either in the actual custody or under the charge and superintendence of the Master of the Rolls by virtue of the Public Record Act of 1 and 2 Victoria, which provides that in the said Act the word Records shall be taken to mean all rolls, records, writs, books, proceedings.
