For the Returning of a Mandaui balli●…o 0 0 4 But vnlesse I had beene thrice an Vnder-Sheriffe it were impossible for me to set downe all his Fees plainely and honestly Therefore I leaue the rest to offer themselues vnto you wishing it to be euer in meliorem partem and for your benefit and credit FEES BELONGING TO THE CLERKE of the PEACE and his Office now follow FIrst it is to be vnderstood that heretofore the Clerke of the Peace being onely Clerke vnder and vnto the Custos Rotulorum of the County was wont to haue wages yeerely of the said Custos for his seruice The Clerke of the Peace is to make out all the Writs of warning of all such persons as are to giue attendance at the Sessions of the Peace to be kept at such place as the Iustices doe appoint and agree vpon And at the place and time appointed for the Sessions The Clerke doth first reade the Commission of the Iustices And then the Sheriffe of the Shire doth returne foure and twenty of euery hundred in the County of which there is one Grand Iury for the body of the Shire drawne forth and this is called the great Enquest And when the great Enquest is sworne One of the Iustices giueth the charge vnto them wherevpon they shall enquire After the charge giuen and ended They doe depart from the Barre to some roome in some house neere thereabouts where they may bee conueniently together And to them then and there are brought all Bills of Felony Trepasse Ryots or other misdemeanours offences giuen them in charge to enquire of And if the great Enquest finde any of the said Bils or presentments to bee true And the parties themselues who are therein found faulty or guilty be absent so that they cannot be quitted or punished for the present Then in such case The Clerke of the Peace is to make forth against them three Capias's●… and an Exigent to come in to trauerse the presentment or to subiect themselues to the Censure and Doome of the Court c. When the great Enquest finde the Bill true they write on the Back-side thereof Billa vera But in case they can not finde it true for want of sufficient Euidence Then they write on the back-side thereof Ignoramus If it bee found then the Clerke is to make forth Processe as aforesaid but if the Iury finde it not then farther proceeding is not to be had therevpon If the partie so indicted be present if it bee in case of Felony c. hee may bee forthwith arraigned before the said Iustices who are to proceed vpon him farther as the Law in such case prouideth If he be not present nor Attached but at libertie till hee be vtlawed Then after such Vtlary euery Accessarie to the fellony may bee arraigned and tryed but not before For other offences of inferiour nature the partie indicted is to come in to make his Fine at the discretion of the Iustices or two of them at the least whereof one must bee of the Quorum vnlesse that before that time the partie can get the Indictment to be remooued by Certiorare into the Kings Bench. And if it bee so Remoued thither Then the party must either there trauerse it c●…m effectu or else compound with the Iustices of the said Court for the same   l. s. d.

Vijs modis per annum yeerely And the Victualler Licensed de nouo in some places payes more then the older Victualler Fee vncertaine Note withall neuerthelesse that the Victualler is the best Candle-rent Tenant that the Clerke of the Peace hath And therefore I dare trust them together for I know not where I can better leaue him The Clerke of the Assize holds the next place for taking of Fees viz.

Fee for Returne of the Commission 0 0 4 The Rule for Publication 0 1 0 After Assignement to Publication the daies so assigned be expired if nothing be said to the contrarie Then Publication may be entred   l. s. d. For the entry of Publication 0 1 0 Note that nothing stayeth Publication but it must be granted vpon Order Affedauit Certificate or Consent After Publication is so had and procured as aforesaid the Cause standeth then at the highest For vntill Hearing nothing more is to bee done here   l. s. d. For the entring of the Cause then into the common Booke of Hearing 0 1 0 Lastly you shall obserue that nothing altereth the aforesaid grounded rules of this most Honorable Court but only Order Affedauit Certificate or Consent Which procured vpon some extraordinarie accidents doe sometimes change the prescribed custome of proceeding and rule of the Court. The forme of proceeding Ore tenus in the Starre-Chamber followeth IF the Delinquent hath done or spoken any thing worthy the Hearing and Censure of this honourable Court And be questioned for the same And therevpon doth confesse the fact or words and subscribeth his hand to the same Confession made in writing before the Lord Chancellour or Lord Keeper or any the Lords Iudges or the Kings Counsaile And doth when he is called to this Barre to answere it likewise confesse the same to be true and acknowledgeth his hand subscribed to the confession made as aforesaid Then and in such case the Court vseth to proceede to Sentence and Censure in the matter It hath not bin seene formerly That any but the Lord Chancellor or Lord Keeper the Iudges or the Kings Counsaile haue taken any such Examinations or Confessions so subscribed vnder the Delinquents hand as aforesaid Neuerthelesse if any other who hath authoritie in this behalfe shall take any such Examination subscription And the partie so examined and subscribing shall at the Barre confesse the matter and acknowledge the hand The Court may proceede to Sentence and Censure therevpon For the life of his Examination is the Confession and acknowledgement thereof at the Barre when the Court doth examine him as the custome is whether that which is confessed in writing be true or not And if the Lord Chancellor or Lord Keeper the Iudges the Kings Counsaile or any other shall take any such Examination and Confession Yet if the partie at the Barre shall either deny his hand thereunto subscribed or the matter therein contained to be true Then the Court doth not vse to proceede to sentence or censure him So consequently the strength of the Examination seemeth not to stand in the partie who taketh it if hee be of authoritie but in the parties Re-examining the same at the Barre and the Recognization thereof And so I conclude the practice of the Court of Starre-Chamber THE EXCHEQVER THE Exchequer hath three seuerall places of proceeding according to the three differing maner of busines belonging vnto it on the pleading side viz. The Chequer Barre The Chequer Chamber The Court of Pleas. For the Exchequer Chamber It is the English Court or place where the proceedings are held by English Bill and Answere And the proceeding thereof is very much like to that of the Chancerie as is said before and therefore I meane not to insist any further vpon it For the Court of Pleas It is the very Imitatiue of the Courts of Common Law in the Hall and therefore I would bee loth to boyle the same meate twice ouer to your Trencher but reserue my selfe for the Chequer Barre especially and the Receipt side The Processe and Proceedings of the Chequer Barre are distributed betweene the two Remembrancers of this Court viz. the Kings Remembrancer and the Lord Treasurers Remembrancer And what doth properly appertaine to the one and what to the other I haue at large set downe in my Direction for Search of Record according to the finall Doome and Order of Sir Richard Lyster Lord chiefe Baron in the time of King Henry the eighth And by the view of the particular matters and businesses therein appropriated so respectiuely you may the better iudge of the proceeding to be held vpon them the rather for that euen here at the Barre side they doe in most things follow the practice of the common Law also Therefore I shall bend my selfe to set foorth the practice of those things which are not presidented in the other Common Lawe Courts at all beeing matters onely proper to this c. with that small difference which is betweene this Court and those of the Common Lawe belowe Staires in point of Appearance at the beginning of a

Suite c. The order of Appearance in the Exchequer IN the Exchequer the appearance may bee made by Attourney so that there be sureties laid in to answere the matter This Bayle must bee alwayes taken before a Baron in the Court and not in his Chamber as is vsed in other Courts The Processe is a Sub poena And if the Defendant doe appeare therevpon by his Attourney his Sureties must be bound by Recognizance as aforesaid with Condition that hee shall render c. If the Defendant be condemned If the Plaintiffe be pleased The hand of the Defendant may be sufficient in this case whether he appeareth personally or no And except the matter bee the greater one Surety may suffice c.
