purueyance of carriages or the making of any the prouisions aforesaide for any our progresse iourneis or remoues That if in any poynt therein they doe carry themselues contrary to this our expresse prohibition in that behalfe made that for such their offences they shal be proceeded against in the seuerest maner and receiue such exemplary punishment as by our Lawes may be inflicted vpon them ANd we do straightly charge our principall Officers of our Houshold and Stable and other Officers of our Greenecloth vpon due information and proofe made before them of any our Ministers offending in any the kindes before specified to deliuer the sayd offenders into the hands of some of the Iustices of Peace of the sayde Shire or Countie where the sayd offence or offences were committed to the end they may proceede against them in as seuere maner as the Lawe and Iustice of our Realme requireth or alloweth And if any of the offences aforesaid shall seeme fitter to bee proceeded withall in the Court of Starre chamber then in the Counties where the offences shal be committed Then wee doe straightly charge and commaund our Atturney generall for the time being that if information be giuen vnto him by any our Iustices of Peace of the misdemeanor of any person so deliuered to see the sayd offender prosecuted and duely punished Prouided alwayes that our meaning is not hereby to prohibite any our Iustices of Peace vpon iust complaints of any of our louing Subiects to examine to binde ouer to the Sessions or if neede require it to commit any such offenders in their seuerall Shires And then certifying the cause of such commitments to the Officers of our Greenecloth to proceed vpon good proofes in further punishment of the faults according to the Lawes of the Realme ANd wee doe in like maner expresly prohibite and forbid all persons after the end of this Session of Parliament to make any purueyance without Commission for euery seuerall Shire contayning the kindes and quantities so neere as may bee which they are to puruey within such a Shire And that to the same Commissions blanke Scedules be annexed which cannot be taken off wherein they shall truely in presence of such High Constable or Constables pettie Constable or Constables Headborough or Headboroughes as shall by precept to him or them directed be priuie to the deliuerie of any the prouisions in the said Commission specified enter their takings presently whereunto the said Constable c. shall subscribe their names or signe Manuell And that the owners or sellers if they will may presently likewise subscribe their names or marks to the same And that when they haue finished their takings in any such Shire That then they deliuer a Duplicate of the said Scedule containing their takings and a true Copy of their proportions appointed to one of the next Iustices of Peace to the end it may appeare that their takings exceed not their Warrants FVrthermore where We haue bene informed that diuers complaints haue bene made of some hard course taken by our Officers of our Greenecloth towards diuers of our louing Subiects at such times as they haue informed against Purueiors and such like Officers vpon abuses Although Wee haue no doubt that any of our Officers will in any such case so much forget their respect to Iustice or Duety to Vs the principall Officers being Counsellers of State and the rest Knights and Gentlemen of good qualitie and discretion yet to the intent our people may be satisfied that We haue no purpose to suffer any interruption of Iustice vnder pretext of our authority Wee doe hereby declare it and so is our will and pleasure that in case any of our louing subiects shal be imprisoned for so doing that the Iudges of our High Court at Westminster shall award a Habeas corpus for their reliefe according to our Lawes ANd for the better satisfaction of our people of whose loyaltie and inward affections we stand so much assured as they will not repine at any prouision deliuered by Vertue of our Commission if it may appeare to come to our vse our wil and pleasure therefore is that our Iustices of Peace in euery seuerall Countie or Country where any prouision shal be taken by vertue of our Commissions shall at their quarter Sessions take particular reckning of the high pettie Constables of all warrants comming vnto them from any minister of ours together with what prouisions or carriages they haue deliuered vnto them by vertue of our Commission the true and iust Certificate whereof they shall halfe yearely at the least vnder the hands and Seales of some of them certifie to our Treasurer and Comptrowler or other our officers of Greenecloth who presently by the parcels and accompts of our house shall duely examine the receit from such Purueiors And if it be found by Certificate of the sayd Iustices or otherwise that they haue taken more then they haue deliuered for our vse or expence vnlesse it shall appeare to haue had iust cause of miscarrying by the way then we require our officers of Houshold vpon paine of our displeasure without delay to send the party so offending into the Countie where such offence or offences shall be committed there to receiue punishment of life and member as the good and ancient lawes of our Realme haue formerly ordeined and appointed FVrthermore as we did in our returne out of Wiltshire being our first progresse vpon the examination of some abuses draw downe the number of our carriages to such a proportion as two full third parts was diminished of the numbers before time vsed euen so at this time because we conceiue that the matter of carriages is the greatest grieuance And that it is oftentimes no lesse trouble to our people to come emptie with their carts to Court to take in carriages then to conuey them Wee doe therefore hereby also commaund all persons vsed in the seruice of Carttaking for our remoues to forbeare to take either more carriages then are of necessitie to be vsed or to warne or charge carts in any Citie Towne Burrow or hundred aboue fourteene miles at any time distant from the place where they are to receiue their loding vpon paine of loosing their Office and Seruice and such further punishment as is to be inflicted vpon them for their contempts And we doe likewise require all high Constables vpon receipt of any warrants from any our carttakers their seruants or deputies for warning of Carts within their hundreths that they presume not to warne any but in such part of the hundreth as shall be within compasse of the fourteene miles aboue specified vpon paine of the penalties before expressed vnlesse it shall appeare by the Iudgement and order of the Iustices of that County or sixe of them at the least that it shall be more for the ease of the countrey to inlarge the extent of the number of miles aforesayd FVrther wee charge and commaund the Purueiors of our Woodyard and Scullarie vpon taking of any proportion of Wood or Coale for our prouision not to medle or assume authority vnto themselues for warning any Carts for Carriage of the same but by the direction of two at the least of our Iustices of Peace next adioyning of that County where such Wood or Coales shall be taken to the end the same may be performed with the greatest ease to our louing Subiects vpon paine of loosing their office and such further punishment as their contempt shall require Not doubting but those Iustices which are made priuy to their Commission will vse such care and expedition at all times for the furtherance of our seruice and for the good and quiet of their countrey as we shall not bee forced by their Remisnes to returne the wonted authoritie into the hands of the Purueiors ANd lastly as a further demonstration of our inward affection to our people notwithstanding our ancient Right and Prerogatiue of Purueiance so long continued we haue caused some of our priuy Councell together with our chiefe Officers of the Greenecloth to fall into present consideration how to prouide as soone as may be some such conuenient number of Carts wholly to bee maintained vpon our owne charge as may serue vs whensoeuer we shall make any sudden remoue or priuate iourneyes for our exercise and recreation without being forced to vse any Commission or to put the Countries to any charge for furnishing vs vpon any of those vncertaine occasions Giuen vnder our Signe manuell at our palace of Westminster the 23. day of April in the fourth yeere of our Reigne of Great Britaine France and Ireland God saue the King ¶ Imprinted at London by Robert Barker Printer to the Kings most excellent Maiestie 1606.
