At head of title: Historical Manuscripts Commission Parliament. Papers by command. C 6338 Prepared by J. A. Bennett, F. H. Blackburne Daniell, W. O. Hewlett, Augustus Jessopp, W. D. Macray and W. H. Stevenson Important papers listed or given in abstract among those of the Duke of Deaufort are papers in regard to Lord Arthur Capel, a description of Raglan castle and an account of the siege of Colchester Among the Gurney papers "one of the three most noticeable is a ... twelfth century ms. of English laws ... containing an earlier copy than any hitherto known of the treaty between King Stephen and Henry in 1153 ... Second, a minute-book of the meetings ... of a company of Puritan ministers in Essex in 1582-9 ... Third ... the diary from June 1614 to February 1638/9 of Sir Richard Hutton, judge of the Common pleas. For the legal biography of the time this ms. is one that well deserve publication."
