IAmes by the grace of God c. Whereas our Right Trusty and Welbeloved Sir Francis Bacon Knight our Councellor and Attorney generall received a Letter from our Chancellor of England Dated the 19. of March An. Dom. 1615. Written by our expresse Commandment directing him and requiring him and the rest of our learned Councell to peruse such presidents as should be produced unto them from time of K. Henry the 7. and since of complaints made in the Chancery there to be relieved according to equity and conscience after Judgements in the Courts of the common Lawes in Cases wherein the Judges of the common Law could not relieve them And thereupon to certifie us of the truth of that they shall find and of their opinions concerning the same which Letter followeth in these words MAster Atturney His Majesty being informed That there be many presidents in the Court of Chancery in the time of King H. 7. and continually since that such as complained there to be relieved according to equity and conscience after Judgements in the Courts of the common Law in Cases where the Judges of the common Law could not relieve them being bound by their oath to observe the strict rules of the Law is willing to understand whether there be such presidents as he is informed of And therefore hath commanded me to let you know that his will and pleasure is that you call to assist you his Majesties Serjeants and Sollicitor and to peruse such presidents of this kind as shall be produced unto you and thereupon to certifie his Majesty of the truth of that you shall finde and of your opinions concerning the same and for your better directions therein I have sent you here inclosed a note in writing delivered unto me mentioning some such presidents in King H. the 7. time and since And I am told that there be the like in former times his Majesty expecteth your proceeding in this with as much speed as conveniently you may And so I rest Your very assured loving friend T. Ellesmere Canc. At York house 19. Martii 1615. ANd whereas our Attorney generall and the rest of our learned Councell did thereupon returne unto us their certificate subscribed withal their hands according to our commandment and direction given them by the said Letter which Certificate followeth in these words According to your Majesties commandment we have advisedly considered of the note delivered unto us of presidents of complaining and proceeding in Chancery after Judgements in common Law and also have seene and perused the originals out of which the same note was abstracted upon all which we do find and observe the points following 1. We find that the same note is fully verified and maintained by the originals 2. We find that there hath beene a strong current of practise of proceeding in Chancery after Judgement and many times after execution continued from the beginning of H. 7. Raign unto the time of the Lord Chancellor that now is both in the Raignes separatim of the severall Kings and in the times of the severall Chancellors whereof divers were great learned men in the Law It being in cases where there is no remedy for the Subject by the strict course of the common Law unto which the Judges are sworne 3. We find that these proceedings in Chancery hath been after Judgements in actions of severall natures as well reall as personall 4. We find it hath beene after Judgements in your Majesties severall Courts the Kings Bench common Pleas Justice in Oyre c. 5. We find it hath been after Judgements obtained upon verdict demurres and where Writs of error have beene brought 6. We find in many of the Cases That the Judgements are expresjudgementsly mentioned in the Bills in the Chancery themselves to have been given and reliefe prayed thereupon sometimes for stay of execution sometimes after execution of which kind wee find a great number in King H. the 7. his time 7. We find the matters in equity layed in such Bills in most of the Cases to have been matter
to our understanding by the cause of errour and attaint in the same Statute what Jurisdiction it was that the Statute meant to restraine viz. such Jurisdiction as did assume to reverse and undoe the Judgement as error or attaint doth which the Chancery never doth but leaves the Judgement in peace and onely meddles with the corrupt conscience of the party for if the Chancery should assume to reverse the Judgement in the point adjudged it is void as appeareth 39. E. 3. f. 14. 5. We find no presidents of any pro●ceeding to conviction or Judgement upon any indictment framed or grounded upon this Statute no more then upon the Statute of Praemunire and the ●ate Indictments are contra diversa Statuta not mentioning the particular Statutes 6. Lastly it was a great mischiefe to force the Subject in al cases to seek remedy in equity before he knew whither the Law will help him or no which oftentimes he cannot do till after judgement and therefore he is to seek his salve properly when he hath his hurt There be divers other things of weight which we have seene and considered of whereupon we have grounded our opinion but we goe no further upon that we have seene But because matters of presidents is greatly considerable in this case and that we have been attended by the Clerks of the Chancery with the presidents of that Court and have not been yet attended by any officer of the Kings Bench with any president of judgements if it shall please your Majesty faithfull report of them as we have done of the other all which c. Francis Bacon Hen. Mountague Randall Crew Hen. Yelverton Iohn Walter Now forasmuch as Mercy and Justice be the true supports of your Royall Throne and that it properly belongeth to us in our Princely office to take care and provide that our Subjects have equall and indifferent Justice ministred to them and that where their case deserveth to be relieved in course of equity by suit in our Court of Chancery they should not be abandoned and exposed to perish under the Rigor and extremity of our Lawes we in our Princely judgement having well weighed and with mature deliberation considered of the said severall reports of our learned Councell and of all the parts of them doe approve ratifie and confirme as well the practise of our court of Chancery expressed in the first Certificate as their opinions for the Law upon the Statutes mentioned in their latter Certificate the same having relation to the case sent them by our said Chancellor and doe will and command that our Chancellor or Keeper of the Great Seale for the time being shall not hereafter desist unto our Subjects upon their severall complaints now or hereafter to be made such reliefe in equity notwithstanding any former proceedings at the common Law against them as shall stand with true merits and Justice of their cases and with the former ancient and continued practise and proceeding of our Chancery and for that it appertaineth to our Princely care and office onely to Judge over all our Iudges and to discerne and determine such differences as at any time may or shall arise between our severall courts touching the jurisdictions and the same to settle and decide as we in our Princely wisdome shall find to stand most with our Honor and the example of our Royall Progenitors in the best times and the generall weale and good of our people for which we are to answer unto God who hath placed us over them Our will and pleasure is that our whole proceedings herein by the decrees formerly set down be inrolled in our court of Chancery there to remaine of record for the better extinguishing of the like questions or differences that may arrise in future times Per ipsum Regem Fran.
