Scope and Content
[Note: Coroner's rolls were made while there were still general eyres, as they were handed in then. After 1300 there were few eyres, and coroners only made notes. If there was an enquiry from King's Bench, they wrote up the notes for the particular case. They also officiated at abjurations of the realm and attended the county court to legalize and record appeals, exactions and outlawries, also
heard confessions of felony and appeals of approvers, besides varied duties by special writ.
