Legal papers and arbitration awards, 1449-1819. The majority of the legal papers comprise disputes over title to land or inheritance which took place in the High Court of Chancery, the Court of the Exchequer, the Court of King’s Bench, and the Council in the Marches of Wales, or which were treated as equity cases in the Court of Great Sessions. The three main groups comprise court cases of the Vaughan family of Llwydiarth, 1600-1716, and the Williams Wynn family, 1674-1793, and [19th cent]; and miscellaneous legal papers and pardons, 1458-1819. There is also a single series of arbitration awards, resulting from disputes mainly over boundaries or title, which did not take place in court, 1449-1710.
