g. MEMORANDA, ORIGINALIA, AND FINE ROLLS.

The memoranda rolls, 10 Richard I.-1848, comprise two distinct series, those of the king's remembrancer and those of the treasurer's remembrancer. These 'memoratores' prepared the business which was to come before the barons of the exchequer, and called the attention of the latter to important matters concerning the revenue. Their rolls contain valuable memoranda relating to a great variety of matters, many of which are also recorded in other rolls, such as proceedings for the recovery of debts due to the crown, returns of

etc.

commissions of inquiry, charters and letters patent, sheriffs' accounts, Prior to Henry III. there are only two memoranda rolls, 10 Richard I.-1 John and 12 John. The duties of the remembrancers are fully set forth in Hubert Hall's edition of the Red Book of the Exchequer, 863-87.

The treasurer's remembrancer also had charge of the originalia rolls, Henry III.-1837 (No. 1992), in which are entered the estreats transmitted from the chancery to the exchequer in order to inform the latter regarding the chancery transactions which affected the revenue in any way. These estreats comprise 'all manner of charters, commissions, letters patent, and letters close, whereby farms, rents, and accounts may be rendered at the exchequer; and likewise the homages and fealties of all those who shall have performed them to the king the same year and ought to render a relief to him; and all manner of fines made during the same time in the chancery': Hall's Red Book, 879.

Oblate or fine rolls, 1 John-23 Charles I. (No. 1990), are records of chancery in which are entered payments made to the king, by way of oblation, for the granting of any favour or privilege, together with some fines or amercements imposed for neglect of duty or for the commission of offences. They also contain memoranda of homages, reliefs, aids, and scutages, commissions for collecting taxes, and notices of other fiscal matters. At first they were called oblate or fine rolls, but after the reign of John the first of these appellations fell into disuse. On the importance of fines as a source of royal revenue, see Madox, History of the Exchequer (No. 2959), chs. xi.xiii.

h. MISCELLANEOUS: MINISTERS' ACCOUNTS, ETC.

The ministers' accounts, Henry III.-Charles II., were the original accounts of bailiffs, reeves, farmers, receivers, and other ministers, or officers, appointed to collect the issues of royal manors and lands, in various parts of England, Ireland, and Wales, which were not included in the yearly farms of the sheriffs. These accounts were at first entered in the pipe rolls, but, seemingly from the time of Edward I. onward, in a distinct series of rolls called foreign accounts (i.e. foreign to the business of the sheriffs), which may be regarded as a digest of the detailed ministers' accounts. The latter include many surveys and rentals giving valuable particulars regarding social and manorial life; also accounts of the English possessions

of the knights templars in England, drawn up in the time of Edward II.
