And an exact table. 1. Containing the fees now paid to the grand officers and patentees. 2. How much will satisfie the true labourers. 3.

fides and how can an ignorant Countrey man judge what part of the Depositions are usefull for him and what not wherein some persons taking upon them more knowledge then probaly they may have out of a desire to save an inconsiderable charge may destroy a good Cause but if they will wilfully hazard their Causes it is fit they should abide the ill consequence thereof SECT XXV THat no stay shall be of any proceedings at the Common-Law upon a Bill of Erchange between Merchants nor of Execution upon a Iudgement at Law upon Bill extant after the said Iudgement without defeazance in writing of such Iudgement till the final hearing of the cause Observation 25. This seems very just and equitable SECT XXVI THat no stay of any proceeding at Law shall be but upon equity confessed in the parties Answers who is stayed or where the party stayed is in contempt for not answering or not sufficiently answering to some material charge in such cases the stay to be void upon clearing the contempt or sufficiently answering without any further order Observation 26. This is already provided for according as is proposed by the present Rules of the Court so that this Section was needless SECT XXVII THat where any cause comes to hearing the Iudges shall determine the same without delay or second hearing but if both parties consent the cause may be put the last in the Registers Book of hearing where the parties consent to a reference the Court may refer it Provided that no Iudge before full hearing doth move either party to consent in either of the Cases And where any reference shall be made by consent of parties they shall not have power for to countermand it and an Adward or Arbitrement made thereupon shall be full as if the reference was by order of Court and shall be a sufficient ground for a Decree And the Iudges shall sit constantly as well Vacation as Term untill the causes and motions in the Registers Book be heard and determined And they shall in all causes pronounce either decree presently in Court at the hearing saving in case of very great difficulty and then not to exceed above ten days and not to hear Councel a second time in the said cause Observation 27. To deny the parties to be reheard on payment of double costs if it go against them seems unreasonable on the grounds and reasons set forth Section the 13. touching re-arguing of Pleas and Demurrers As for References and Adwards the Court were never against them and if the parties on both sides agree there is an end of that difference In which cause it is well known the Court neither will nor can meddle with it for if both parties agree what need they trouble the Court which is for no other use or end then to determine those controversies which cannot be composed in an amicable way by the parties themselves But in case an Adward be indirectly made by practise or collusion in such cases the Court will relieve the party aggrieved according to the truth and merits of his Cause which hath been held a commendable and just course And as to that part of this Section which relates to restraining the Judges of the Court from hearing of Councel the second time this seems unreasonable if parties do desire it and the Court see cause and surely it cannot choose but give more satisfaction to the parties and carry with it a greater countenance and power of Justice to hear Councel if the parties on both sides desire it then to deny it to either for it hath been hitherto conceived a just complaint of the People for unjustice in cases wherein they have been concluded without permitting their Councel to be heard when they had something material to offer to the Court especially in case of new matter not offered before Whereas otherwise to hear both sides seems but just whilest the Judgement is still reserved in the breast of the Court who may order increase of Costs on re-hearings as they shall see cause SECT XXVIII THat the Register shall not execute his Office by Deputy except in case of sickness and then the Court to appoint one and shall in his draught of orders shortly express the sense of the Court as Rules in the Court of Common Law without any unnecessary preamble And if the Register draw up an order contrary to or not agreeing with the order pronounced in Court he shall answer the party grieved thereby his full costs and dammages to be given him by the Court or to be recovered by Action on the Case at his Election Observation 28. This method of drawing up Orders pithily hath been formerly proposed by the Clerks and if a Register draws an order contrary to the Declaration of the Court it is but just that he should be lyable to an Action of the Case but in case the course herein before proposed Sect. 16. for publique reading of the Orders in Court be established it will in all likelyhood prevent many miscarriages in drawing up of Orders and will be a means to shorten causes and avoid multiplicity of Orders and spare the Clyent much expence SECT XXIX THat the Register shall upon every Decree pronounced in Court enter the very words of the Decree in his Book without interlineation and publickly read the same in Court at that sitting of the Court to be there allowed And that the Iudges shall sign all Decrees publickly in Court at certain times to be for that purpose appointed which Decrees are to be drawn up forthwith after the Decree pronounced And that from and after _____ no Suit shall be admitted in any Court of Equity for the obtaining of any Decree for any Mannors Lands Tenements and Hereditaments upon any prefence of trust or Agreement whatsoever which shall not appear in Writing under the hand of the party who ought to perform the same or by some Deed or Will in writing Observation 29. As to the first part hereof which concerns the Register in relation to the Decretal Orders of the Court it is very well approved of And it were well the same course were observed on all other Orders granted in Court as hath been before proposed Sect. 16. And for the time and manner of signing of Decrees and Dismisses the Author makes no objection but in the latter part which relates to the barring of the Court from relieving any person for any Lands Tenements or Hereditaments upon any pretence of trust or agreement which shall not appear in writing c. the Author makes no Objection against it provided that this extends not to precedent trusts before the establishing hereof by any Act and before Country Registers be appointed where such trusts and agreements ought to be inrolled and entred for the right truth is if matters of trust and agreement and other matters of Fact betwixt parties were reduced into writing and inrolled it would avoid many litigious causeless suits and prove a speedy way of
