I shall be much obliged for any information or hints as to the following
Queries:--
1. Is there any list extant of the Prothonotaries of the Supreme Courts
of Judicature from the time of Edward III. downwards, or any source from
which their names could be obtained? Was John Hayward a prothonotary of
one of the courts in Edward III.'s time, or during the reign immediately
following? or can any information be furnished about a lawyer of that
name about that time?
2. Is anything known of a place called "Schypmen Hall" existing in
London or elsewhere in the time of Edward IV.?
3. When did "Mr. Goldsborough, one of the Prothonotaries of the Common
Banke," flourish?
4. Is anything known of Traherne, said to have been reader at Lincoln's
Inn temp. Hen. VIII., whose _Reading on Forest Laws_ is much referred to
by Manwood?
5. Is anything known of Frowick, a lawyer probably of the sixteenth
century?
