Second edition, handwritten in 1824 by Joseph Munby solicitor and Under Sherriff of Yorkshire, with associated correspondence from 1808 detailing the circumstances of its composition. The text was based on the encroachment by the Proctors in York on the business of the legal profession by preparing warrants on writs, the making of which belonged entirely to the Under Sheriff, or by his permission to gentlemen in the profession.

Includes a later note by Arthur J Munby, 1879, relating to the document.
