A74899	Seasonable observations on a late book intitvled A system of the law: as it was contrived and published by the committee appointed for regulation: so far as it relates to the high Court of Chancery, and the fees and proceedings thereof: Wherein several proposals made by the said committee, are held unsafe and inconvenient; some are approved of, and illustrated; and others supplyed wherein the same are conceived defective: With further proposals, for the better regulation of said court, and more speedy and cheap hearing of causes. 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. What wil [sic] be saved thereby to all suiters in the said court. Unto which is likewise annexed, the memorable case put by the late King James, to the then learned judges of the land, touching the power and jurisdiction of the said court, for relieving complainants after judgements given in the Courts of Common-Law; and how far the Statutes of Præmunire do extend to restrain the said court therein: With the reasons and resolutions of the said judges thereupon: Tendered to the consideration of the supreme authority: and published for the general good and information of all practitioners and suiters in the said court. / By Philostratus Philodemius.

he put his hand and seal thereto and name the place of his habitation and the same may be made use of in any Court as if the same had been sworn in any Court before a Iudge of the same Court but no razure nor interlineation is to be in any Affidavit whatsoever Observation 10. To this the Author makes no exception only desires that there may be special care taken in Commissionating faithfull and honest able Justices of the Peace in whom the Propositors by this System do repose in many things as much power as is now intrusted in the Reverend Judges of the Law SECT XI THat where the Plantiff or Defendant do cause any Pleas Answers Demurrers Replications or Rejoynders to be filed by the chief Clerk they shall give to the adverse party or leave with his Attorney for him a true Copy of the same which he shall have without Fee Observation 11. The same Objection that was made Section fourth touching Copies of Bills may serve for this SECT XII THat where any defendant appears upon the return of Summons or process if the Bill be not filed he shall have his full costs to be taxed by the chief Clerk without further attendance then the next day after the return day And not to appear again upon Suit of the same party before the costs paid and upon new Summons Observation 12. The Proposals of the Clerks mentioned in Section fourth That all Bills be first filed wherein the plaintiff prays process before the same be granted will as is conceived prevent all preferring of costs and all those delays unnecessary expences costs and trouble that formerly happened thereby both to the plaintiff and defendant SECT XIII THat where any Defendant pleads or demurs if it be in Term time the same shall be determined within fourteen days after it be put in if in Vacation either before or in the first week of the Term To which end the Iudges of the Court shall appoint certain times for the determining the same not interrupting the course of hearing other causes and shall upon the first hearing of a plea or demur give their positive Order herein without a second hearing And where any plea or demurrer is over-ruled the Defendant shall pay 40 s to the Commonwealth for a fine b●sides the plaintiffs costs Observation 13. To limit a time for arguing of all pleas and demurrers as is conceived tends to the forestalling the Judgement Justice and Discretion of the Court whose practise hath been hitherto to dispatch them all in order with as much expedition as they could but in case there be so many entred in the Books and Papers of pleas and demurrers that in ordinary courses according to their dates and entries they cannot be heard within the 14. days to binde the Lords Commissioners or Judges of the Court to hear and dispatch them within that time is conceived to be too unreasonable an obligation which in all probability no Judges or Lords Commissioners will undertake to perform And in case it fall out that a plea or demurrer come to be argued in the absence of the plaintiff or defendant and by reason thereof be ordered to stand or be over-ruled if the party absent shew good cause why he could not attend the arguing of such plea or demurrer upon payment of double costs of the Court if it go against him the Court would not deny the re-arguing thereof which was never yet held unreasonable by any practitioner of the Court or other unbiassed person it seeming unjust and unreasonable that in case either party be surprized or prejudiced by non-attendance in such cases that on payment of double costs he should not be heard therein SECT XIV THat when a sufficient Answer is put in the plaintiff shall reply within eight days and if it be insufficient shall within eight days put in exceptions thereto or enter it in the Registers Books for hearing upon the Answer otherwise the cause to be dismissed without any motion and the chief Clerk to Tax full costs within the time aforesaid and no dismission Fee to be paid by the defendant in this cause or any other But if the plaintiff will in such case pay full costs and charges he may exhibit a new Bill Observation 14. This is sufficiently provided for by the general and special Rules of Court made by the present Lords Commissioners for the great Seal of England to the satisfaction of all Suitors SECT XV. THat References to particular Masters of Chancery be forborn and there shall be from henceforth but six Masters of Chancery in ordinary to be named by the Parliament and eligible at the end of every three years and to have by the year _____ two or three whereof shall sit day by day at some certain publique place so long as any thing depends in reference before them and shall have a Register to attend them which two Masters or three of them at the least shall hear and report things under their hands which come before them always ending one cause before they begin another Observation 15. This course if setled would in all likelihood prove of very great use and benefit to the People and prevent delays and corruptions by references to particular Masters only this is desired to be added that there be some extraordinary punishment imposed as well on Masters of Chancery as on all other persons that are Judges who shall directly or undirectly take any bribe gratuity or reward in any Cause but barely their Stipends allowed by the State SECT XVI THat for the orderly hearing of causes and motions in Court and references before Masters of Chancery the Register shall keep two distinct Books in one of which any party who hath a cause ready for hearing shall enter the same in either of them any person who hath a reference to the Masters of the Chancery shall enter the same in the Register always in the Margin figuring the Books by numbers according to the time of the entry and the party entring every such cause or reference subscribing his name And there shall not hereafter be any Motions in Court for reference of insufficient answers to Bills or Interregatories or touching contempts or for scandal or impertinency in Bills or Answers But any party desiring a reference in any such cause may enter the same in the said Books of reference to be heard before the Masters Observation 16. This Court of entring causes and references is conceived of good use and benefit to the People The present Lords Commissioners having in a good measure made provision therein But it is likewise humbly proposed that all motions in Court be likewise entred with the Registers and the cause and end of the motion briefly inserted And that the same may be heard in course which will be a means to hear and determine Causes and Motions with equal dispatch whereas now eminent Lawyers and Favourites are called by their names to move who make sometimes
