Publications

While at the bar Rolle spent much of his leisure in making reports and abridgments of cases. His Abridgment des plusieurs Cases et Resolutions del Commun Ley, published at London in 1668, 2 vols. fol., is prefaced by his portrait and a memoir by Sir Matthew Hale, in which he is characterised as 'a person of great learning and experience in the common law, profound judgment, singular prudence, great moderation, justice, and integrity.' His Reports de divers Cases en le Court del Banke le Roy en le Temps del Reign de Roy Jacques, appeared at London in 1675-6, 2 vols. fol.
