with this adjunct that for as much as Clerks cannot have their remedy therefore as the Statute would that therefore they shall have their Actions against such Purveyors by way of Trespass and thereby recover treble damages mentioned in the Statute The Sheriffs and Escheators with their Wives and Servants and horse do over-charge poor religious houses and over that do exact great sums of money of them The Statutes therefore made shall be observed The print touching Tithes and Oblations cap. 13. doth in part agree with the Record but not altogether quod nota That upon consultation granted of a pension brought by one person against another all depending before the Ordinary that the same Ordinary may fully decide the cause onely The King will charge the Justices to search forth the old Records and to do thereafter That no prohibition be granted before the whole circumstance of the matter be fully examined in the Chancery No prohibition shall be granted other then heretofore hath been and what ever was appointed in the last Parliament shall stand The Print touching tythes and Averments ca. 14. doth not altogether agree with the Record quod nota That the Ordinary may freely discuss every conditional consultation Let it be as it hath been That upon a prohibition for Tythes of Sylva cedua there may be readily granted a consultation and that neither the Judge neither the party pursuant be impeached therefore It shall be as it hath been That all men flying to the Church-yard or other holy places may enjoy the priviledge thereof without any temporal Watch or Ward No man shall make any ward but one of the Chancery The Print touching Arrests in Churches c. cap. 15. much swerveth from the Record which note Petitions for the City of London That all their Liberties with this clause Licet 2. any Statute notwithstanding may be confirmed To the first the King granteth to the second he will view the contraries and do thereafter They require that no stranger within the same Liberty do buy or sell any Merchandize of another stranger in pain of forfeiture The King willeth the same between Merchant and Merchant onely saving the Liberties of the Merchants of Aquitain That they attend upon no commandment of any the Kings Officers but onely at the Kings suit being sealed with the Great Seal or Privy except the Kings Justices according to their Charter Let it be continued as heretofore hath been It is enacted that the Citizens of London shall by their selves enquire of Customs Impositions and purprestures happening or arising within the City of London It is enacted that the Mayor and Chamberlain of London for the time being shall have the keeping of all the Lands and Goods of such Orphans as happen within the said City Saving to the King and other Lords their right of such as hold of them out of the same Liberty That the interpretation of any word or sentence touching their said Liberties which may severally be taken may be taken according to the intent and claim of the said Citizens Interpretation of Charters belong unto the King wherein if any doubt shall arise the King by advice will make interpretation according to reason That the City of London may enjoy all such Liberties as any other Town in the Realm if they have any other then the said Citizens have Let them declare the especial matter and they shall have answer That no protection Royal be allowed in debt account or Trespass wherein a Free-man of London is ten pounds For victual bought after the voyage or service whereof the protection mentioneth or for debt or contract after the date of such protection purchased the King granteth That no man condemned and laid in Newgate for any debt to any Citizen be removed to answer to the King in the Exchequer unless that the Kings debt be first to be due The King hath appointed the Barons and Officers of the Exchequer so to deal It is to be required that for any answer here given the Kings will is that the Citizens of London be in no wise restrained of any their Liberties or ancient Customs approved The Commons the last day of the Parliament by mouth required the Lords to have good regard that the King might have all such Lands as his Grandfather purchased to the ease of the Commons and also all the goods and Jewels of his said Grandfather considering what had been heretofore done in other Kings days in the like whereunto was made no other Answer but that the Lords wished the same for the Kings part and the soul of his said Grandfather The Parliament continued from day to day from the first day being the 13. of October this present year until the 18. of November in the same viz. in the whole 47 days At the which 18 day the Bills were read and the answers as aforesaid And so the King giving thanks to the Lords and Commons for their expedition and consideration of aid willed the Knights and Burgesses to sue forth their Writs for their Fees and so to depart And so ended this Parliament Anno Secundo Ricardi Secundi The Parliament holden at Westminster in the Quinden of Easter in the Second year of King Richard the Second IN the Quindena of Easter being the 25. of April the Duke of Lancaster and other Bishops and Lords assembled in the Kings Palace of Westminster attending of long time the coming of the King at the last for that certain Sheriffs had not made the return of their Writs the Parliament by the Kings commandment was continued untill the next day whereof Proclamation was made openly in Westminster-hall The next day being Tuesday for the cause aforesaid and for that sundry of the Bishops and Lords were then absent the Parliament by the Kings appointment was continued untill the next day The Wednesday following being the 27. of April the King with most of the Bâ—shops and Lords came into the Parliament into the Painted Chamber into the which the Commons were called before whom Sir Richard le Scroop Chancellor of England by the Kings appointment declared the causes of the Parliament vizâ— First was for the maintenance of the liberty of the Church Again for that in the end of the last Parliament the King had according to the order taken elected sundry Lords and others to be of his continual Council but for the sudden breaking up of the same Parliament he was not advised of the number which being chosen and sworn togethâ—r with the Nobles consulted about the Affairs of the Realm and the great dangers wherein the same was and weighing the great charges which the same needed would not fully determine the same without Parliament

Rolls There being no Records at all in the Tower except some few antient Charters or Exemplifications of them antienter than the first year of King Iohn all the rest from William the First his reign till then except some few in the Exchequer not relating to Parliaments being utterly lost The first Parliament Rolls yet remaining are those of 5 8 9 and 19. of King Edward the 2. The Statute Roll of H. 3. Edw. 1. and Edw. 2. conteining some Statutes made in their reigns a Parchment Book of some Pleas in Parliament during the reigns of King Edward the 1. and 2. and a few Bundles of Petitions in the Parliaments of 6 E. 1. 1 2 3 4. E. 3. none of which are here Abridged Only I find in the Clause Patent Charter and Fine Rolls of King John Henry 3 Edward 1 and 2. some writs of Summons and some mâ—morials of Acts Ordinances made and Aydes Subsidies Disms Quindisms Customs granted in Parliaments held during their reigns the Rolls whereof are perished and quite lost either through the Negligence of the Record-keepers or the Injury Iniquity of the times during the Civil wars between the King and Barons in the reigns of King Iohn and Henry the 3. and betwixt the two houses of Lancaster and York for the Title to the Crown wherein it is very probable the prevaâ—â—ing Kings parties by their instruments embezelled suppressed such Parliamentary Records and Proceedings as made most against their Interests Power Prerogatives Titles or through the Default of our Kings Great Officers and Atturneys who sending for the Parliament Rolls out of the Tower upon special occasions never returned them again for reasons best known to themselves By means whereof these Parliament Rolls being no where to bee found their defects must be supplyed only out of such Fragments and Memorials of them as are extant in our other Records and antient Historians especially in Matthew Paris Matthew Westminster William of Malmsbury Henry Archdeacon of Huntingdon Roger de Hoveden Simeon Dunelmensis the Chronicle of Bromton Radulphus de Diceto Ranulphus Cistrensis and Thomas of Walsingham who give us some account of their Proceedings and Transactions which else had been utterly buried in oblivion as well as their Rolls wherâ—n they were at large recorded as is evident by the Parliament Rolls yet extant exactly relating all the Parl. Acts Judgments Proceedings as you may discern by this Abridgement But more clearly by the Rolls at large made up and engrossed by the Clerk of the Parliament with the assistance or supervising of the Lords Iudges and Commons too when there was occasion 4ly I shall recommend unto you these generall Observations touching our Parliaments and their proceedings in former ages which I shall desire the Readers more carefully to observe in their perusal of this Abridgement for their better satisfaction 1. That it was the Common Custom in former ages the first day of every Parliament by special Proclamation to inhibit the wearing of any Arms or weapons under severe penalties within such Cities and places where the Parliament sate to prevent all disturbances quarrels intimidations over-awings of the Members by Fear or Force A practice now fit to be revived after so many late armed Guards Forces not only over-awing disturbing enforcing but dissolving Parliaments and secluding securing their Members at their pleasure 2. That our Parliaments were alwayes usually adjourned and put off till some further day when any considerable Number of the Lords or Commons were absent or not come appearing at the first day of Summons and the Declaration of the Causes of summoning the Parliament adjourned till all the Members were come and the Parliaments full 3. That the Lords some times and the Commons were all frequently called by Name the first day of the Parliaments sitting and all of them admitted yea commanded to sit in and attend the Parliament and such as were absent without just cause both blamed and fined 4. That in all former ages no Acts were made Judgements pronounc'd Ayds or Subsidies granted nor ought else debated or conlcuded but only in full Parliament when all or most of the Members were personally present and none forcibly secluded or suspended but only by senâ—ence of the Houses themselves See the Table Full Parliament 5. That No Members of Parliament could be arrested imprisoned or taken in execution for Debt or any other occasion sitting the Parliament but only for Treason Felony or Breach of the Peace and if any were arrested or taken in execution against their privileges they were upon complaint released to attend the publike service of their Country in Parliament 6. That our Kings themselves did usually by their Chancellors or Chief Justices when they declared the Causes of summoning every Parliament to the 3.

Laws of the Realm also he will acquit himself by his Oath with one hundred Knights That he was not guilty of that for which he was banished and if his Oath be not due He will that the Archbishop Bishops and all the Priests of England do excommunicate him And yet if any man will say it against him he will defend himself by his body against all men except the Kings blood that it may please the King to end the same matters Forasmuch as Petition hath been made to the King that where villianage is alledged against the Demandant or Plaintiff the same should be tryed by the County where the partie alledging the exception doth lay the birth of the Defendant or Plaintiff to have beenâ— which Petition is against the law and usage to the great mischief of the Commons as appeareth by the pleading at the Assizes and other pleadings which are to be pleaded and determined in the Counties where the demand is or trespasses done que duissent purtant estre trop delayes a disheritance de la dit come and that which worse is If the Petition should be granted every man would alledge this exception against his adversary and would chuse a County at his pleasure whereby any freeman might by such means be made servile For by such exception alledged by un grant de la terre against a mean person the same should be tryed in a forreign County where his greatneâ—s is and where the mean man nor his Ancestors never came therefore the King will have regard to these and other mischiefs if the Petition should proceed and to the good laws and customs of the land and them to maintain without regard to the Petition of any single person against the Law of the land Whereas Lionel the Kings son and Elizabeth his wife do hold the County of Hulnester in Ireland in right and heritage of the said Elizabeth and forasmuch as if the said Elizabeth should dye without Issue the said County is to descend unto divers Persons whereof some are enemies to the King which Parceners would enter into the said heritage and would move war against the King as well in Ireland as elsewhere that against this evill and danger the King in this Parliament will provide remedy by the advice of the Prelates Counts and Barons and others of his Councel Iohn Wettenham and Walter de Cheriton Merchants desire that whereas the Commons have complained against them by divers Bills in Parliamentâ— Viz. that they have done divers extortions grievances and prejudices to the King and Commons Forasmuch as they have imployed their pains and diligence to serve the King and have therein suffered many mischiefs that the King will command the said Merchants to come before the Councel to answer whatsoever shall be objected and to declare their estate so as other Merchants hereafter may not doubt to deal with the King in Cheevances nor no other businesses as occasion shall require That none may chase or kill the Kings game when the same do scape out of the Forrests but only the Lords of the Woods and of the Soil where such game are found and that some certain punishments be ordered for them which shall do otherwise Whereas the Commons are charged to advise the King how the Peace of the land may be better kept To which was answered that in every County six persons of whom two to be des pluis grantz and two Knights and two men of Law and so more or lesse as need shall be and they to have power and Commission out of the Chancery to hear and determine the keeping of the Peace Et que counts traylebastoneries ne courgent as heretofore was assented by Parliament for they were the destruction of the people to small or no amendment of the Law or Peace nor punishment of Felons or Trespassers Wherefore because the Commons have so long continued together to their great costs and mischief they desire answer of this Bill lour deliverance Anno Vicesimo secundo Edwardi Tertii Rex c.
