A80116	A collection of such of the orders heretofore used in Chauncery, with such alterations & additions thereunto, as the Right Honorable the Lords Commissioners for the Great Seal of England, by and with the advice and assistance of the Honorable the Master of the Rolls, have thought fit at present (in order to a further reformation now under their Lordships consideration) to ordain and publish, for reforming of several abuses in the said court, preventing multiplicity of suits, motions, and unnecessary charge to the suitors, and for their more expeditious and certain course for relief.	England and Wales. Court of Chancery.; Lenthall, William, 1591-1662.; Keble, Richard, fl. 1650.; Whitlocke, Bulstrode, 1605-1675 or 6.	1649 (1649)	Wing C5195; Thomason E1377_4; ESTC R209283	24,870	102

but upon motion in Court and Affidavit made of the parties inability to travail or other good ●atter to satisfie the Court touching that delay The Defendent who is served with a Subpoena ad respondend and obtaineth a Commission to answer in the Country shall without more words have the same liberty there by to Answer Plead and Demur as he had by the originall Proces if he could have appeared in person After a Commission once obtained to answer no second Commission shall be granted without speciall Order of Court or the Plaintiffs owne assent under his hand And if the time for the Defendents answering be inlarged upon Affidavit that he or they cannot answer without fight of Writings in the Country or in respect of the length of the Bill or the like which shal not be without speciall Order in Court no Commission shall be afterwards granted without like speciall Order of Court upon good reason shewed to induce the same or the like assent of the Plaintiff In case where the Defendent sits all Process of contempt and cannot be found by the Serjeant at Armes or makes a rescue a Sequestration shall be granted of the land in question And if the Defendent render not himself within a yeare then an Injunction for the possession and the profits so sequestred to be delivered over to the Plaintiff Injunctions FOr that it is agreeable to equity and the constant practise of this Court that a Defendent obtaining a Commission to take his Answer in the Country should not by that delay or favour of the Court get an advantage against the Plaintiff by proceeding at Law in the meane time It is Ordered that from henceforth every Commission to take an Answer in the Countrey shall containe in it a clause of Injunction to stay the Defendents suit at Law if any be touching the matter complained of in the Bill untill he hath answered the Bill and the Court given other Order so as issue were not joyned at Law before the returne of the Subpoena served upon the Defendent and in that case to stay judgement for the like time so that the taking of such Commission under seale shall be a sufficient notice and service of the said Injunction without motion or other trouble to the Plaintiff whereupon for breach to ground an Attachment upon Affidavit of a proceeding at Law after the Commission prayed No Injunction to stay Suits at Law shall be granted upon priority of suit onely nor upon the bare surmise of the Bill but upon the Defendents delay or wilfull contempt in not Answering or upon matter confessed in the Answer or matter of Record or writing plainly appearing or the duty demanded appearing to be very ancient Where a Bill comes in after a Verdict a Law for a debt an Injunction is not to be granted without depositing the principall money except there shall upon hearing both sides appeare to the Court in the Defendents Answer or by deed under hand and seale or other good matter for relief in equity And an Injunction granted in such case or otherwise upon the merit of the cause or equity appearing to the Court is regularly to stand untill the hearing of the cause unlesse the Plaintiff delay the cause in which case he may best be quickned by dissolving the Injunction For avoiding multiplicity of references heretofore used and charged to the suitor It is Ordered that where a motion is made for an Injunction to stay a suit at Law upon allegation of matter of equity confest in the answer the Councell moving the same shall have that suggestion fair written in his hand and read or truely open the same to the Court and if the Court hold that matter of sufficient weight will thereupon grant an Injunction as is desired without reference report or further motion and then the Register is in Court to receive the said suggestion so fairly written and insert the same verbatim in the Order for granting the Injunction But if the said suggestion be untrue in the substance thereof upon construction of the whole Answer and the Defendent be prosecuted by the Plaintiff for breach of the Injunction granted thereupon he shall be cleare from any contempt in that behalfe and have his costs and such Councell shall justly incurre the displeasure of the Court Where an Injunction to stay suits is obtained upon a misinformation made to the Court as of matter confessed in the Defendents Answer which in truth is not so confessed or if confessed in one place is avoided in another part of the Answer or upon other such like plaine abuse to the Court in that case the party prosecuted with contempt for breach of such Injunction shall upon his examination the matter appearing as asoresaid be discharged of any contempt although he hath proceeded at Law after such Injunction granted and also have his costs taxed for his wrongfull vexation by the same Master to whom the contempt shall be referred without other motion in Court which also shall be done in like cases where a contempt stands referred to a Master of the Court he shall tax costs and certifie the same in his report to the Court together with his opinion touching the contempt as well for the prosecutor in case the contempt be confessed or proved as for the party examined if he be cleared thereof For avoiding the many motions heretofore frequently made touching dissolving and continuing Injunctions it is Ordered That when an Injunction is granted till Answer and further Order if no Order be made within fourteen daies after the Answer duly filed in Court for continuance of the Injunction the same shall stand dissolved without further motion upon Certificate only of the Register Injunctions to quiet possession usually granted for preservation of the publike peace and prevention of force shall not be granted before hearing but upon oath that the Plaintiff was in actuall possession at the time of the Bill exhibited and not of Rents or other things which lie not in manuall occupation and for such possession as the Plaintiff himself had at the time of the Bill exhibited and three yeares before but not to be extended further to the possession of such from whom he claimes or of him and his Tenants much lesse him and his Assignes or the like Which Injunction shall not be extended to give the Plaintiff any other possession then he had at the time when the motion was made And such Injunction in case the Plaintiff delay to bring his cause to hearing is also to be dissolved No Injunction to quiet such possession shall extend to hinder the Defendents proceedings at Law to evict the Plaintiff or from making any lease or peaceable entry or single distresse for that end No possession shall be taken from any person by colour of any such Injunction before the cause be heard And if any be the Court will restore possession and
