Richard 2. cap. 11. It was moreover enacted That when the said offender is taken and imprisoned and cannot finde him that spake the words then he shall be punished by the advise of the Councell And to the intent that such evill disposed persons which by their lewd speeches and slanderous words or reports do endeavour to break or disquiet the peace of the Realm might the sooner be inquired found out and punished by a Statute made Anno 2.

And the demurrer was good and out of the intendment of the Common Laws or Statute Laws concerning slanderers for no punishment hath been at any time appointed for suits in Law though the matter be false and for vexation only other then amerciaments or fine to the King and therefore the plantiff is sufficiently discharged against the said Lord Beauchampe not only for the time that the suite is depending but after the action tryed or otherwise ended yea though the Plantiff were non-suited or by other means it went against him for if actions of revenge upon the event it would terrifie and discharge many who have just cause to complain for fear of infinite vexations for the event and successe of suits and matters in action is uncertain Cooks 6. part 40. a.

H. 3. without issue the Writers of that time doe testifie that the Earledome of Chester came wholly unto Iohn Scot the sonne of David Earle of Huntington and Anguish and of Maud the eldest sister of the said Renulph if it were given upon the death of the said Iohn Scot who dyed without issue about 14. H. 7. yet notwithstanding the said Judgement stood not in force for that the said King assumed the said Earledome into his owne hands upon other satisfaction made to the sisters Coparceners of the said Iohn Scot.

For this it is to be observed out of Presidents and to be acknowledged of every dutiful Subject that the King is at liberty to call and advance to honour whom his Highnesse shall in his Princely wisdome thinke most meet and therfore whereas Ralph Lord Cromwell being a Baron by Writ dyed without issue having two sisters and co-heires Elizabeth the eldest married unto Sir Thomas Nevill Knight and Ioane the younger married unto Sir Hunt Burther hee who married the younger sister was called unto the Parliament as Lord Cromwell and not the said Sir Thomas Nevill who had married the eldest sister and Hugh Lupus the first and great Earle of Chester was by the Conquerour his Uncle creared Earle of Chester Habemus sibi heredibus adeo libere per gladium sicut ipse Rex tenuit Angliam per Corenam Hugh dyed without issue and the inheritance of his Earledome was divided amongst his foure sisters and the eldest had not the Seigniory entire unto her selfe Reade Mills 74 75.

Between Doctors of the Civill law and Knights have ever bin question for precedency and Serjeants at law since either of them have obtained credit in the Common wealth as may appear by the comparison that Tully maketh between Mucius Maurena a Knight of Rome and Publius Sulpicius a Lawyer either of them standing for the Consulship In his Eloquent Oration m●de for Mu●ena and many Disputes of Bardell and Bardus arguing the Case to and fro which although it be yet disputable in forreign Countries where the civill law is in credit yet here amongst us in England it is without controversie and so the precedency thereof is undoubtedly in the Knight and Sergeant at law in regard of their Callings But if they both are of equall degree of knighthood or a Serjeant at law not Knight then it goeth otherwise as by Knighthood by Seigniority and by Serieantship by the Kings Writ and degree allowed thereupon Dr. Ridley 95. and so Selden his Titles of Honour fol. 55. touching part of this Discourse not all The opinion of some men hath lately bin that Knights Lieutenants that is to say such as have beene Ambassadours to forraigne Princes or Judges within the Realm may and ought to have during their lives precedencie above men of their owne rankes after these their Offices expired and many of them doe stand strongly hereupon sub judice lis est not determined by judgement but admitting it to be so by way of Argument in that case yet all the Heraulds doe utterly deny that priviledge to the Maior of London and Aldermen or Justice of the peace who have their limited Jurisdiction of Magistracie confined within the compasse of their owne walls and divisions But touching the former they are generall Magistrates throughout the Realme and their imployment concerneth the whole Common-weale and having the publike Justice of Honour of the whole estate committed unto them do more meritoriously draw from thence a greater respect of honour according to the generallitie of their administrations and imployments which an inferiour and more confined Magistrate may have The name of a Knight is the name of Dignity and a degree as is the name of a Duke Earle c. But in all actions he shall be named Knight otherwise the Writ shall abate See The●wall lib. 3. cap. 3. A Knight also must be named by the name of Baptisme and by his sirname as Sir Ierome Bowes Knight but those of degree honourable who are made by pattent may be named onely by their Christian name and by their title of honour as Iohn Earle of Clare and that for two causes first because of their solemne creations it is notorious et nomen dicitur a noscendo Secondly there is but one of that title of honour within England and therefore it is certaine what person he is but otherwise of Knights as it is certainely knowne in Anno 8.
