Ashe was an English legal writer who entered as a student of he Honourable Society of Gray's Inn, one of the four professional associations for barristers and judges in London, in 1574. He was called to the bar on January 24, 1582-3 and finally became pensioner of his inn on October 17, 1597.
This work is the first abridgment of any reports of a named reporter, and launched Ashe's career as the master and pioneer of this genre of legal literature.
