 | | In 1931 the firm of Cheeswright & Casey, as it then was, amalgamated with another old firm of notaries, Duff, Watts & Co., which had been founded in the City in 1771 by a Scotsman named William Dunbar, who was later joined in practice by another Scot, William Duff. |
 | | In 1780 William Dunbar became a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Scriveners, a livery company, founded in 1373, to which most notaries in the City of London belong. |
 | | Such notaries, who qualify in accordance with the educational and training requirements of the Scriveners' Company, are known as Scrivener Notaries. |
