Hughes, William (1587/1663?), translator and compiler of legal works, matriculated at St Alban Hall, Oxford, on 18 January 1605, aged seventeen, and was admitted to Grays Inn on 7 November 1606. There is no date for his call to the bar, but he was made an ancient on 7 June 1627. Hughes was more of a translator and compiler of legal works than a reporter of cases. His first published work was The Parsons Law (1641). He continued to publish after the Restoration. An Exact Abridgement in England of the Cases Reported by Sir F. Moore, collected by Hughes, was published in 1665. Sir Edward Dering (1598-1644) began as an aspiring courtier to Charles I, with the Duke of Buckingham as his patron. In 1640 he was elected to the Long Parliament but his subsequent career veered between Royalist and Parliamentarian positions. He was also active in local Kentish politics as Lieutenant of Dover Castle, and as a magistrate. His interest in Kent extended to the antiquarian, but his main writings were anti-Catholic controversial tracts. He died of what may have been a brain tumour soon after abandoning the Royalist cause in 1644. (1)
