Excerpt from State Trials of the Reign of Edward the First, 1289-1293: Edited for the Royal Historical Society Several years ago my attention was called by Mr. Hubert Hall to two plea rolls preserved in the Public Record Omoe, containing the official proceedings of the trials of the judges and other royal officers, before a special Commission appointed by Edward I. In 1289. The smaller of the two rolls was copied out, and I undertook to edit it for the Camden Series. Further investigation soon showed the undesirability of publishing the record as it stands for reasons which are set forth later. Here it need only be said that the smaller roll only contains a portion of the proceedings of the Commission, and that the more bulky roll which includes the rest had also to come within the editor's purview. An unusual press of literary and academic work made it impracticable for me to Spend sufficient consecutive time in London to work through its contents. Accordingly the project slumbered for some time, until last summer I had the good fortune to associate with myself in the labour my pupil, Miss Hilda J ohnstone, b.a., Jones Fellow of the University of Manchester, who kindly 1mdertook the un grateful ofice of completing the task that I had been unable to accomplish. The results of our work are now offered to the public. I am able to assume responsibility for the plan of the publi cation, the correctness of the texts transcribed from Roll 541 B.
