EDINBURGH : PRINTED BY JAMES SKINNER AND COMPANY.
PREFACE. The Protocol Book of Sir William Corbet, which is here printed in abridged form, is in H.M. General Register House, being No. 4 of the series of Protocol Books preserved there. It is a small octavo volume of ninety-six folios embracing the years 1529-1555, but as there are only four entries dated prior to 1 540, it may be said to cover the period 1 540-1 555 only. Several of its leaves are awanting, and what remain are by no means in a good state of preservation, the handwriting being very often faint and unreadable. The notary describes himself as " priest " and " chaplain " (Cf. Nos. 33 and 63), but the editors have been unable to find any further information regarding him, or to throw any light on his parentage. Attention may be drawn to No. 93, which contains a very interesting note of his private expenditure for part of the months of June and July 1542. The transactions recorded in his Protocol Book deal almost entirely with subjects in the counties of Roxburgh and Berwick, chiefly in the parishes Merton. Errata.
