By act 33d Parliament 1685, it is ordained, That all clerks within the Kingdom, who keep such registers as are or have been in use to be delivered to the Clerk-Register, to be preserved in his Majesty's general register-house, do give
in all the register-books, &c. Upon this act the Lord-register obtained a warrant from the Lords of Session against the Directors and Clerks of Chancery, of which they afterwards obtained suspension, it not being made out that the records of chancery were in use to be delivered in to the general register.
