"In Leach's edition [of v. 7] the size of this volume is trebled by the addition of new cases from the manuscripts of Wright and Luke Benne, covering the years 1733-1744 ... The volume of [cases] ... is more than doubled in Leach's edition [of v. 9] by the addition of chancery cases (1739-1755) from the manuscripts of Samuel Salte and Charles Butler ... In Leach's edition [of v. 11] large additions are made, of new cases, covering 1718-1730, from the manuscripts of Jonathan Wells.
