ROLLS-OFFICE, is an office in Chancery-lane, London, appointed for the custody of the rolls and records in chancery.
Rolls of parliament, are the manuscript registers, or rolls of the proceedings of our ancient parliaments, which, before the invention of printing, were all engrossed on parchment, and proclaimed openly in every county. In these rolls are also contained a great many decisions of difficult points of law, which were frequently in former times referred to the decision of that high court.
