Data table details
Transcribed by	Steve van Dulken
Comment	The decrees occur when in litigation it was necessary to, mainly, call for creditors or legatees to make claims. The Gazettes wording is usually "pursuant to a decree", occasionally "whereas by a decree", of the High Court of Chancery. The parties named in the "cause" or case are often given to help finding them in the National Archives Research Guide on Chancery Equity suits, and explained in their leaflet "Chancery Equity suits after 1558" https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/chancery-equity-suits-after-1558/, which is essential reading when researching such litigation. When trying to find them in the National Archives catalogue search Discovery https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ (which will not always be successful) limit the search to the C class.
