VPRS 10011 Outward Letter Books

The Master in Equity was responsible for the administration of the Supreme Court in Equity as well as holding various other positions. In 1883 under the Judicature Act the position of Prothonotary of the Supreme Court (VA 433) was established to relieve the Master in Equity of the administration of matters not related to Equity. The Prothonotary later assumed responsibility for the Equity functions of the Master in Equity.This series consists of copies of letters sent by the Master in Equity. Correspondence is mainly to do with the administration of deceased estates, responses to requests for copies of documents, to queries regarding the payment of interest on money held in trust by the Master, and in relation to payments made pursuant to court orders.VPRS 10011/P was reserialised in 2001 as part of the ARAD Project. The former unit 1 is now serialised as VPRS 12693/P1 and the remaining units were renumbered to accommodate this change.

衡平主事官（Master in Equity）彼时负责衡平最高法院（Supreme Court in Equity）的行政事务，同时身兼多项其他职务。1883年，根据《司法法》（Judicature Act），最高法院首席书记官（Prothonotary of the Supreme Court，VA 433）一职正式设立，旨在分担衡平主事官非衡平相关事务的行政管理工作。此后，该首席书记官逐步承接了衡平主事官的衡平法相关职能。
