C.R. By the King A Proclamation touching the Adjourning of part of Hillary Terme THE Kings most excellent Majesty being now involved in an unnaturall War raised against Him by divers of His own Subjects and finding no hope of a present Peace which He hath much desired and indeavoured and being now setled at His City of Oxford in His own Person and His Army attending Him there for His necessary defence for this Winter season hoping that before any new occasions shall be offered for the effusion of more blood unnaturally spilt it will please God who is the God of Peace to open some way to attain thereunto which some by all means indeavour to divert hath amongst other things which concerne the Good and Prosperity of His people taken into His Princely consideration how and in what place and in what manner the next ensuing Hillarie Terme with most conveniency for Himselfe and His own affairs and for His good Subjects may be held in a time of so much danger and distraction and upon serious weighing of all Circumstances fit to be considered of His Majesty hath resolved and by this His Royall Proclamation doth Order Appoint Declare and Publish That because the Lord Keeper of the Great Seale is the Supreame Judge of the High Court of Chancery and he must necessarily attend His Majesties Person that the said Court of Chancery and all proceedings of what kinds or sorts soever shall and by these presents are and stand adjourned to the City of Oxford where His Majesties residence now is and for that time is likely to bee for the whole Terme of Saint Hillary now next ensuing and shall begin and bee there held and continued upon and from the three and twentieth day of Ianuary now next ensuing untill and upon the Thirteenth day of February then next following And because the Commissioners for His Majesties Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer are likewise here attending His Person that the Receipt of His Majesties Exchequer and of the first Fruits and Tenths payable by all Spirituall Persons and others shall be and by these presents is and stand adjourned for and during all the Term and time aforesaid unto the said City of Oxford and shall be there held and continued And because the Court of the Dutchie of Lancaster may with more ease and conveniency to all His Majesties Officers and loving Subjects having occasion to attend the same bee kept in the City of Oxford then at the City of Westminster in these troublesome times that the said Court of Dutchie of Lancaster shall be and by these presents is and stands adjourned for and during all the Terme and time aforesaid unto the said City of Oxford and shall be there held and continued And because His Majesties Court of Wards and Liveries is principally intent upon matters of His Revenue and the same with much more conveniency to His Majesty and with as little inconveniency to His Subjects having businesse therein may bee as well held in Oxford as in Westminster His Majesty doth farther also by these Presents Order Appoint Declare and Publish That the said Court of Wards and Liveries shall bee and by these Presents is and stands adjourned for and during all the Terme and time aforesaid from the said City of Westminster unto the said City of Oxford and shall bee there held and continued And because it is most proper that the Lord Privy-Seale for the time being and the Masters of Requests to His Majesty who are the Councell of the Court of Whitehall or Court of Requests should attend His Majesties Person wheresoever He is or shall be and all Suits depending in that Court are properly depending before His Majesty and the Bills there are exhibited unto His Majesty and to none other His Majesty doth likewise Order Appoint Declare and Publish that the said Court of Requests or Court of White-hall shall be and by these presents is Adjourned from Westminster aforesaid unto the said City of Oxford and for and during all the Terme and time aforesaid shall there be held and continued And because in the time of this miserable distraction the Subjects of this Kingdom having Suits in any of the Courts of the Kings-Bench Common-Pleas and Exchequer cannot with such safety and contentment as His Majesty wishâ—â— unto them attend their Suits and Causes depending in any of the said three Courts And yet that many Causes of smaller moment may be dispatched 〈◊〉 out the Clients and Suitors themselves by their Attourneys and Solliciters if but a part of the said Terme may be held and kept in the places where Records of those Courts now are and from whence without very much trouble and charge they cannot be removed His Majesty hath further resolved by these presents doth publish and declare That He shall and will by His Writs of Adjournment totally Adjourne the two first Returnes of the said ensuâ—â—â— Terme of Saint Hillary commonly called Octabis Hillarii and Quindena Hillarii untill the Returne called Crastino Purificationis and that the two las 〈…〉 turnes of the said Terme called Crastino Purificationis and Octabis Purificationis shall be held at Westminster in the usuall places where formerly they were â—elâ— All which His Majesty signifieth to all and singular His Officers Ministers and loving Subjects of this His Realme to the intent that they and every them who have or shall have any Suite or other occasion to attend any of the said Courts of Chancery Receipt of Exchequer and of First Fruits and Tenthâ— Dutchie of Lancaster Court of Wards and Liveries and Court of Requests may give their attendance at the said City of Oxford as aforesaid and not elsewhere and that such of them as have or shall have cause to attend or who have cause or Commandement to appeare in any of His Majesties said Courts Kings-Bench Common-Pleas and Exchequer at Westminster in or at the said Returnes of In Octabis Hillarii and Quindena Hillarii or in or at any day or tiâ—â— from and after the said Returnes of Octabis Hillarii and Quindena Hillarii and before the said Returne of Crastino Purificationis may tarry at their dwelling or where their businesse otherwise shall lye without resorting to any of the said Courts for that cause before the said Returne of Crastino Purificationis next comming and that without danger of forfeiture penalty or contempt to incurre towards His Majestie in that behalfe And neverthelesse His Majesties pleasure is that two of His Justices that is to say of either Bench one shall the first day of the Terme of Saint Hillarie called Octabis Hillarii according to the ancient order of the Lawes keep the Essoines of the said Octabis Hillarii at which Returne of Octabis Hillarii Writs of Adjournment shall be directed to the said Justices giving them authority to Adjourne part of the said Terme of Saint Hillarie that is to say from Octabis Hillarii untill the said Returne of Crastino Purificationis as before is said and the same Adjournment shall be made in the first day of the said Octabis Hillarii commonly called the day of the Essoines Willing and Commanding all and every of His Majesties Officers Ministers and Subjects to whom it doth or shall appertain to observe and keep their Assemblies and Appearances with all their Returnes and Certificates in His Highnesse said Courts at Westminster In Crastino Purificationis next then and there to be holden and kept and there to doe their Offices and Duties in every behalfe in like manner and forme as they should or ought to have done if this present Proclamation had not been had or made as they will answer the contrary at their Perills Given at His Majesties Court at Oxford the 27 day of December in the Eighteenth yeare of His Reigne
