Quere Whether delivering notes and writings as aforesaid each to other will not avoid many unnecessary References to Masters of the Chancery and other Referrers and thereby save much trouble and expence 11. Whether it be convenient for the publike good that every Register c. should be chosen out of Clerks experienced in that way for their honestie experience and ability onely without money or rewards and that a competent gain only may be allowed him to take entirely to himselfe without account to any and whether any but such as have been employed as Registers or their Clerks can well understand such Office under a long times practice Other Quaeres concerning other proceedings in such Courts and divers other things shortly are intended to bee published with additions to divers Quaeres concerning Bills Answers Replications Rejoynders c. in such Courts and taking away the extreme and unnecessarie charges troubles and long delayes in just causes in such Courts and abateing those that may be for contention and trouble onely and the preservation of many honest men from great losses and others from undoing thereby without hindrance to any but unnecessary Officers crept into such Offices without any lawfull authority and how many hundred thousand pounds yearely may bee saved to the Commonwealth by reducing such things and others written to bee published to the lawfull proceedings and taking away the unlawfulnesse thereof contrived by unlawfull and exacting Officers for their own only gaine FINIS
