Iohannes Denn Richardus Fenn Towards the bottom the Sheriffs Name A. B. Miles Vic. Note It must be the Sheriff that was in Office when the Writ was returnable Having gone thus far you are to file your Writ of Covenant Dedimus and Concord together and carry them to the Office of Custos Brevium where the Secondary or his Clerks will enter it in his Book and endorse the Writ for which you pay three shillings eight pence from thence you carry it to the Kingsilver-Office in Lincolns-Inn where the Fine for the value of the Land is entred for which you pay in Sussex fourteen pence Surrey ten pence most of the Western Counties eighteen pence c. Hence you are to carry it to the Secondary at the Ciropraphers Office who enters it in his Book and hath for it in Term-time five shillings eight pence after Term six pence more Then are you to deliver it to such of the Clerks of the same Office who write for the County where the Lands lye who will engross the Indentures of your Fine which when you fetch from him some convenient time after he will demand of you three shillings six pence if it be with one warranty onely otherwise six pence a piece for every warranty more How justly these Clerks demand this Fee of three shillings six pence I know not formerly they never received more then two shillings six pence And thus have I led you through the several Offices where your Fines pass At many of which you shall be enforced to wait long and often to go and come again two or three dayes after the Clerks hoping thereby to extort somewhat out of you for expedition which I conceive Non expedit for you cannot justly demand it of your Clyent It is best therefore to begin with your Fines as soon in the Term as you can which will save you many post Terminums Note You may acknowledg a Fine in open Court or before the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas out of Court or before any other Judg of that Court or before the Justices of Assize in the Country as well as by special Dedimus potestatem And if you can conveniently have it acknowledged any of those ways it will be less charge to the Clyent The Lord Chief Justice of the Common-Pleas may ex officio out of Court take the acknowledgments of Fines without any Dedimus c. but none other if therefore you are to acknowledg it before him you must draw out the Praecipe and Concord fairly in Paper and let the Conusors set their hands to it then go to my Lords Chamber and deliver your Concord to him who the Parties being ready will take their Acknowledgments for which you pay eleven shillings eight pence and my Lord himself will keep the Concord thus made in Paper and you are to go to his Clerk some time after who will engross it in Parchment and get my Lords hand to it which when you have from him you are to go on through the several Offices as before Note For more expedition you may engross your Concord in Parchment before you go to acknowledg the Fine and then have my Lords Hand to it at the same time when you carry your Concord in Paper which my Lords Clerk will better like and will be less trouble to you If you acknowledg a Fine before any other Judg you must go with your Concord in Paper as before and then after the Fine acknowledged you may sue out a general Dedimus potestatem directed to that Judg that took the Fine which if you carry to his Clerk he will engross the Concord upon the back of the Dedimus and get the Judges hand to it for which besides the Judges Fee you pay his Clerk sixteen pence and no more if it be a Fine in several Counties Thence are you to proceed as before is directed An ordinary Lease of a House in London THis Indenture made the c. between I.H. and M. his Wife c. of the one Part and R.
