Jan. 27. the good of the Suitor and the righting of the Officer to give reformation thereunto It is therefore this present day ordered by their Honours That all Affidavits of this Court except those only which belong to the Supplicavit Office shall before the same be executed in Court All Affidavits except those that belong to the Supplicavit Office before they be read in Court shall be first filed and registred in the Affidavit Office and attested by a Copy thereof under the Officers hand or otherwise produced to ground any Order Writs Process or Proceedings of Court thereupon be brought into the said Office of Registring Affidavits and be there filed and registred And that this Order both at the Court at Westminster at the Seals and at the Rolls by the Officers of this Court and all others whom the same doth or may concern be duly observed and kept at the perils of such as in contempt of this Honourable Court shall presume wilfully or negligently to decline or not observe the same Register not to sign any Order granted upon any Affidavit unless the Affidavit be first filed and registred And further it is ordered by their Honours that neither the Register of this Court his Clerks or Deputies shall or do at any time hereafter draw up sign or set his or their hand or hands unto any Order whatsoever granted upon any Affidavit unless the Affidavit be first filed and registred with the Register of the Affidavits and attestation brought and shewed to the said Register of this Court his Clerks or Deputies under the hand of the said Register of the said Affidavits or his Deputy attending in the said Office And it is further ordered by their Honours That no Master of this Court shall accept of or take the Oath of any person to an Affidavit except the same be fair and handsomly writ in one hand without blotting or interlining And in case any Affidavit shall escape the said Masters of this Court and pass so blotted and interlined under their or any of their hands it is further ordered That the Register of the Affidavits or his Deputy shall thereupon refuse the same and that afterwards no use shall be made thereof in any the proceedings of this Court.

An Act for ascertaining and establishing of the Fees of the Masters of the Chancery in Ordinary WHereas the Office of the Masters in Chancery is of very ancient Institution and of necessary use and continual attendance for the dispatch of the business depending in that Court it appearing by ancient Records that the constitution of that Court was long before the Conquest much of the Duty Pains and Attendance whereof lieth on the said Masters and for that it conduceth much to the Administration of Justice that those who exercise places of Trust should have competent and certain rewards suitable to their pains and labour whereby they may have due maintenance to support the quality of their Places and that it is but fitting and necessary for the Subject to allow a moderate payment where they receive a proportionable advantage a Fee of four pence in times of that Antiquity being as much in value as two shillings now by reason whereof in process of time and the improved rate of all necessaries the present recompence of those ancient Offices is no way competent and proportionable to their pains and attendance which are likewise very much increased without any increase hitherto of what was so anciently allowed as aforesaid And for that it appears in all other Courts at Westminster there is twelve pence taken for every Affidavit and for that it hath been found inconvenient for Suitors to put in Answers or return Commissions in the private Studies of the Masters so that through the difficulty of finding such Answers and Commissions with what Master they were left or through the Masters absence at such time as they were called for it frequently happens the persons conceived to be in contempt are exposed to much trouble and charge thereby and for that it is more proper safe and satisfactory to the Subject in general that Affidavits Answers Recognizances and Acknowledgments of Deeds shall be dispatched in some publick
