that it may be positively determined what Causes shall belong to that Jurisdiction For the old Statutes that restrain it as they have in the late Reigns been put in Execution are the terrour of Merchants Owners Material-Men and others that live by Sea-Trade insomuch that they dare not think of suing in the Admiralty for their just Damages and Debts contracted by Maritime Employments but are forced contentedly to sit down with such their Losses for fear of being sued at the common Law upon the Action of double Damages which is very hard when thereby they are not only deprived of the best Relief but in many of the foregoing Cases they have no ways to begin an Action at Common Law This Jurisdiction has been several times setled particularly by the King in Council in the year 1632. after which it being interrupted it was in the late times thought necessary to be resetled by Ordinances of Parliament as may be seen in Scobell's Collection C. 112. Anno 1648. f. 147. and C. 23. Anno 1649. f. 16. Since the Restauration it has been again interrupted by Prohibitions which gave occasion for several Petitions from many considerable Merchants Masters Owners and Material-Men one of which Petitions is hereunto annexed but they could have no relief during the two last Reigns However it is hoped that this Parliament will restore so necessary an incouragement of Trade and Navigation the cheifest Wealth and Support of the Kingdom It must be expected that some of the common Lawyers will oppose such a Bill for the same reasons that some Civilians will promote it But either of their private Advantages is not to be regarded but only the publick Good It may be easily demonstrated that the Admiralty anciently had cognizance of many more Causes than are above-mentioned And on the other side it is as plain that Prohibitions have been awarded in most if not all of them But Arguments drawn from thence would do no more than tell the World that one Jurisdiction oppressed the other according as it had Power and between both did grind and harress the Subject and is a better reason for setling the Jurisdiction than for serving the private ends of either Party And there need be no more other weight laid upon what is urged from thence but rather to pass by all Disputes of that kind and not so much examine whether Prohibitions have been duly or unduly sent to the Admiralty of which there will be no end as may appear by the several fruitless Tracts that have been published to that purpose on each side but rather to consider what is fit and expedient to be done for the general Advantage of the Kingdom and what Courts what Laws and which Profession can most easily and readily administer Justice to the Subject in the foregoing Cases APPENDIX At Whitehall the 18th of February 1632.
