a Declaration the Steward if he were a just Steward ought to grant a non pros upon it for want of a Declaration but for the Courts benefit that lawfull proceeding is slighted and instead thereof puts the poore Defendant by lawlesse and irregular rules and other by blowes to a very long attendance and much cost and lately one Gilbert Barrell one of the Attorneys of that Court hath found out a quirk which he pretends to be Law to preserve the Plaintiffe from paying the Defendant Costs when there is no cause of Action that is to declare in a good Declaration and when the Defendant answereth to demurre to the Answer and so the Judgement shall passe against the Plaintiffe and that Court gives no cost upon a demurrer this was his client Bowers his case against Mrs. Carter and thus in an odd erronious way and kind of proceedings they go on and when they are to enter Iudgement in any Case this is their Exordium which I have litteratly set downe formerly out of which have observed one pritty passage and the like is in their VVrit which I will onely mention and so endeavour a Conclusion Note they make their writ retournable before the Judges of the Court of the Kings Palace at Westminster of which Court Mr. Win pretends to be Steward and Tests it with Sir Edward Sydenhams Test Knight Marshall and so Ioyn both the Court and Steward and Knight Marshall together And for their Judgement they begin with Curia Domini Regis Palatii Regis Westm c.

Terms which is about Thirteen yeares I do not thinke but it is false imprisonment in any one to execute such a writ when the Law will not allow them to make it returnable but from court to Court as the Common Law doth from Terme to Terme If a man could but have the full view of their proceedings I am verie confident he should discover more errors in one day then he could with his penne devulge in a Yeare Apud generalem Session pacis Domini Regis tent ibm Die Lunae existen undecimo die Januarii Anno Regni Dn. mi.
