Vernon, Thomas, a lawyer, and, according to Lord Kenyon, "the ablest man in his profession," was at one time secretary to the Duke of Monmouth, and subsequently M.P. for Whitechurch. 1710, '13, '14. and '22. fle d. at his seat, Twickenham Park, Aug. 22, 1726. After his death the MSS. of his Reports became the subject of a suit in chancery (see Atcherly v. Vernon, in 10 Mod., 529, 530) between his widow, his residuary legatee, and his heir-at-law: therefore, by order of Lords Macclesfield and King, the papers were confided to the editorial care of William Melmoth and William Peere Williams for publication. They appeared as follows: Reports of Cases in Chancery from 23 Ch. II. to 5 Geo. I., Lon., 1726-28, 2 vols. fol.; again, 1736, 2 vols. fol. This edition was so inaccurate that, at the suggestion of Lord Eldon, Mr. John Raithby published a new edition, 18067, 3 Parts, 2 vols. r. 8vo; 3d ed., 1828, 2 vols. r. 8vo; Brookfield, 1829, 2 vols. 8vo. Lord Eldon (16 Vesey, Jr., 24) says Raithby's Vernon is a very valuable edition.

"The volumes have, therefore, much more value now than when first published; but ... they are often extremely meagre and incorrect."-Wallace's Reporters, ed. 1855, 310, (q. v.)

"Vernon's Reports are the best of the old reports in chancery.

In 1806 Mr. Raithby favoured the profession with a new and excellent edition of Vernon. . . . These reports include part of the judicial administration of Lord Nottingham and the whole of the time of Lord Somers; but they give us nothing equal to the reputation of those great men. They bring the series of equity decisions down to the conclusion of Lord-Chancellor Cowper's judicial life."-1 Kent, Com., 492.
