the said City using Trade may by custome of the same City take an Apprentice to serve him and learn him his Art and Mystery and that by Indenture to be made between him and his said Apprentice which Indenture shall be examined and
for it might tend to a great derogation of the City and likewise might be very prejudicial to the Commonwealth when as the ill-affectedness of this City being the chief member of this politique body cannot but make all the other members to be partakers of thei ll disposition of it And upon this reason it is that before such time as the Stat. of R. 2. was thought of it was holden that the Stat. De Religiosis otherwise called the Statute of Mortmain made in the seventh of the Reign of E. 1. which did make a general restraint from disposing of lands in Mortmain did never extend unto the repeal of the custome of London which did enable those that were Citizens and Freemen of London to devise their lands in Mortmain as before Secondly The City of London and the custome therein used being the example and patern which the Statute of 5. Eliz. in some parts of it doth require should be followed as in that branch wherein provision is made that every person being an housholder and twenty four years old at the least dwelling or inhabiting or which shall dwell or inhabit in a City or Town Corporate and use or exercise any art mystery or manual occupation shall and may yet have and retain the Son of any Freeman not occupying Husbandry c. to serve and be bound as an Apprentice after the custome and order of the City of London for seven years at the least It seemeth that the intent of the makers of that Statute was rather to confirm than repeal the customes of London for it would never make the custome of London to be the example which ought to be persued if it had had an intention to repeal it And by the same reason that the custome of London shall not be comprehended within the general words of one branch of the Statute the general words of another branch shall not be extended unto them Thirdly it is to be observed that the Statute of 5. Eliz. hath a proviso That this Act nor any thing therein contained or mentioned shall not be prejudicial or hurtful unto the Cities of London and Norwich or to the lawful Liberties usages customes or priviledges of the same Cities And howsoever it speaketh only concerning the having or taking of Apprentices yet by the whole scope of the Statute which maketh the customes of London to be their directions in many things enacted by that Statute it appeareth that the intent was to preserve the Customes of London and not any ways to abolish them For it should be very mischievous to the City and would endanger the subversion and decay of it if all Acts of Parliament by their general words should stretch to repeal the customs of London in Case where they are somewhat opposite unto the Statute Fourthly upon the matter there must be a repeal of the Statute of Magna Charta cap. 9. which confirmes all the Customes of London the which shall not be done by general words in a Statute because it hath been so often-times confirmed As to the Fifth Question scil Whether the Trade of an Upholster be a Trade restrained within the Statute of 5. Eliz. cap. 4. So that none can exercise it but he that hath been an Apprentice by the space of seven years It was agreed and resolved That an Upholster is not a Trade within that Stat. For first it is not a trade that is mentioned in any of the branches of the Statute howsoever in all parts of the Statute there is mention made of sixty one several trades and mysteries And if the Artiâ—ans which at that time were Assistants unto the Commitees for the expressing of all manner of Trades and thought that the Trade of an Vpholster had been such a Trade that required Art and Skill for the exercising of it they would not have failed to make mention of it Secondly there having been two former Acts of Parliament that is to say the Statute of 7. H. 7. cap. 17. and 5. Ed. 6. cap. 23. made concerning Vpholsters it was not necessary that mention should be made of it in this Statute and so it shall be intended that there was purposely an omission made of an Vpholster because there was sufficient Provision made for him formerly Thirdly the Trade of an Vpholster doth not require any Art or Skill for the exercising of it inasmuch as he hath all things made to his hand and it is only to dispose them in order after such time as they are brought to him as the Ticks of his Beds he borroweth from a Weaver the Frames of his Beds and Stooles from the Joyners and Turners his Iron-Rods and Nailes from the Smith his guilding and setting forth and adorning of his Beds and Stools from the Guilder and Painter and so he is like to Aesops Bird which borroweth of every Bird a feather his art resting meerly in the overseeing and disposition of such things which other men work and in the putting of feathers into a tick and sowing them up when he hath done the which one that hath been an Apprentice unto it but seven days is able to perform And the intent of this Statute was not to extend unto any other trades but such as required Art and Skill for the managing of them and therefore it was adjudged in the Exchequer upon an information against one in the 42 year of the Reign of the late Queen Eliz. that a Coster-monger was not a Trade intended by the Statute of 5. Eliz. because his art was in the selling of Apples the which required no skill or experience for the exercise of it So an Husbandman Tankard-bearer Brick-maker Porter Miller and such like Trades are not within the Statute of 5. Eliz. cap. 4. so as none may exercise them but such a one that hath been an Apprentice by the space of seven years for they are arts which require rather abillity of body than skill But a Brewer and Baker are within the Statute because it concerneth the health of mens bodies to have good Bread baked and Beer bâ—ewed and so it is fit that they should have skil for the exercise of them Fourthly an Upholster being no such Trade within the Stat. of 5. Eliz. as may compel one to be an Apprentice unto him for the space of seven years for it is not mentioned within that branch that concerneth the compelling of men to be Apprentices It is not any such trade as is within that branch which compelleth men to be Apprentices for the space of seven years before such time as they can exercise it for none shall be within the branch that restraineth men to exercise their trades where they have not bin Apprentices by the space of seven years but such as are within that other branch to compel men to be Apprentices unto them by the space of 7. years As to the sixth Question which is whether the Court of the Mayor of London be such a
words of the Decree wherefore the Party Leassee having expressed himself that this twenty five pounds by the year shall be paid in name of a Fine and Income And the Decree it self shewing that by reason of a Fine or Income less rent is reserved it may not be said that this twenty five pounds by the year shall be a rent within the meaning of the Decree when there is a rent of five pounds also reseserved beside this Income Secondly this Decree made in 37. H. 8. being penal unto the Citizens of London because it inflicteth imprisonment upon him upon his non-payment of his Tythe according to the rent reserved and being also in advantage of the Ministers of London because by vertue of this Decree the Minister is to have according to the rate of 2. sh 9. d. in every twenty shillings where anciently he had but 2. s. 6. d. it is no reason to extend it by equity and to construe that to be a rent within the intent and meaning of the Decree which of it self is a Fne or Income Thirdly there never hauing been above the rent of five pounds by the year reserved upon any Lease made it cannot be taken to be any covin or collusion When the ancient rent is reserved insomuch that now so much as the Law requireth is done and besides where the Common Law or Statute Law shall take notice of a Fraud it ought to be in case where the thing in which the Fraud or deceit was supposed is formerly in being for a Fraud may not be committed to a person or thing not in being Fourthly it is to be reserved so that if no rent at all had been reserved there might not any more have been demanded but only according to the rate of the rent which was last reserved for the houses wherefore the ancient rent of 5. l. being here reserved it cannot be that within the intent and meaning of the Decree there can be more rate-Tythes demanded then according to that rent And besides the very words of the Decree intimates that there is no fraud within the meaning of the Decree but only where by reason of the Fine or Income there is not rent at all reserved or a less rent then was anciently reserved wheresore in the Case at the Barre the old rent being reserved there may be no fraud at all As to the sixth and last part which is who shall be Judge of the payment of Tythes for houses in London and the remedy for the recovery of them It is apparent out of the words of the Decree that the Mayor of the City of London is Judge and is to give order concerning them and Suit is not to be made in the Ecclesiastical Court for them and if it be a Prohibition is to be granted insomuch that the party grieved resorteth unto another Judge then the Statute hath appointed But if the Mayor do not give aid within two moneths after complaint made or do not give such aid as is fitting then resort is to be made unto the Lord Chancellour of England who hath three moneths given him for ending of the said Cause Whereunto is annexed divers ANCIENT Customs AND USAGES Of the said City of LONDON Newly Re-printed LONDON Printed for Abel Roper at the Sun against St. Dunstans Church in Fleet-street 1670.
