This continued to the reign of Edward III., who, having expelled the Jews from the kingdom, converted the building into a place for keeping the rolls and records of the chancery. Spelman; Cowell, voc. "Rolls." It is now called the "Rolls' Office in Chancery Lane," though in Latin the old name is sometimes retained. Id. voc. "Master of the Rolls."
