(Vol. 3 is termed a Supplement and contains the extra matter mentioned in the title. The reporter's name is derived from internal matter. The Recorder's Court was established by royal charter dated 1 Feb. 1898. Prior to 1798 the only Madras court with civil jurisdiction over Europeans was a Mayor's Court, consisting of the Mayor and nine aldermen. Criminal matters were adjudged by the Governor in Council. Strange held the office of Recorder until 1801, when he was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, newly established in that year.)
