Your Majesties commons in this session of Parliament assembled doe cheerefully acknowledge the spring and fountaine of the publique justice of this state to be originally in your Ma from the benefite therof is conveyed and derived into every member of this politique body by your Highnes writs Amongst which none are more honourable for the support of the common justice of the realm then the writes of prohibition habe as corpus de homine replegiaÌ„do writs have been ever held and found to be a chief meanes of reliefe vnto the poore distressed and oppressed subjects of this kingdome and can be no inconvenience at all Seing they are no way conclusive against any man and doo draw no benefit to the procurers but rather a fruitless charge if they be obteined vpon any vnjust ground or pretence In the free granting of proceccing vpon some of which writes especially that of prohibition there hath of late been observed to be some obstruction by reason that vpon the complaintes and the importunity of some who desire the support of inferiour courts against the principall courts of the common law wherewith your Majesty hath been greatly troubled you have taken into your royall consideration the severall extents of the jurisdiction of the sayd severall courts Since which time the said writes have been more sparingly graunced and with stricter cautioÌ„s then anciently hath been accustomed It is therefore most humbly desired that it may please your Majestie whose glory is never more coÌ„spicuous then when the poorest of the commonalty are blessed with the influence of the ancient beames of justice to require your judges in the courts of Westminster to grant the said writes in cases wherein such writes doe lye and by law are grantable And in such sort as that such persons whose bodies being eyther coÌ„mitted to prison or their causes like to receive great prejudice by procedings against them in times of vacation may not be debarred nor deferred from hauing the speedy reliefe benefite of those writes more then in former times For asmuch as the exercise of authoritie over the counties of Glocester Hereford Wigorne and Salope by the president councell of Wales by way of instructions vpon pretext of a statute made in the 34. yeare of the reigne of King Henry the 8. is conceived not to be warranted by that or any other lawe of this Realme of England And for that in the 2. session of this present parliament there did a bill pass the house of the Commons wherebâ— it was declared that the true intent and meaning of that before mentioned statute was not thereby to subject these countries to that kind of government by instructions And yet notwithstanding the inhabitaÌ„ts of those Counties are since vtterly discouraged and in effect debarred from triall of the right of that kind of jurisdiction over those countries by the ordinarie course of the coÌ„mon lawes of this land by reason of Prohibitions which were heretofore frequently granted vpon suggestion that those countries are not part of Wales or of the marches of the same which is the very point in question are now become very hard to be obteyned except in cases where those of that councell doe exceed the instructions set downe to them by your Majestie As also for that in cases where actions have been brought at the common law whereby that question might haue come to dicision the plaintifes haue been stopped sometimes by injunctions out of your Majesties court of Chancery from their proceedings sometime before sometime after judgemeÌ„ts and some time also by imprisonment The precedent of which proceedings doth concern all your Majesties loyall and dutifull subjects of this kingdome aswell in respect of the stopping of the free course of Iustice as also by reason that if that kinde of jurisdiction were at first extended over those 4. counties and be now still continued without warrant of law then consequence of this example may in future times give countenance to the erecting of like jurisdictions in other places of this Realme And for asmuch as your Majestie was pleased to commaund all the Iudges to consider of this question and that they thereupon bestowed very many dayes in hearing the cause argued by learned counsaile on both sides And in viewing and considering of great numbers of recordes produced before them concerning that cause whereby they have no doubt throughly informed themselves of the right It is therefore the most humble petition of the commons in this present Parliament assembled that your most excellent Majestie will also be pleased to commaund that the Iudges may deliver their opinion upon that so exact and deliberate hearing which was had before them concerning the right of the foresayd jurisdiction over those 4. Counties by force of that statute And that the opinion which they shall deliver therein may be in such sort published as that all your Majesties subjects whome it may concerne may have meanes to take knowledge thereof And that your Ma will vouchsafe to declare it by your most princely pleasure that any of your Maiesties subiects who may have occasion thereof may trye his or their right in that point by due and ordinarie course of the common lawe eyther by suing out of prohibitions or any other your Maiesties writs without restraint And that if the sayd iurisdiction over those 4. Counties shall appeare to your Maiestie by the opinion of the Iudges or otherwise not to be warranted by law that then your Maiesty be pleased out of your most princely and gracious favour towards all

sell ale and beere bee retaile Which imposition not being taxed by assent of parliament but commanded and directed onely by letters and instructions your commons are perswaded that the same proceeded rather vpon misinformation then by the direction and judgement of your owne most noble royall heart Wherefore your said commons knowing the griefe of your people in this behalfe do according to their duties in all humilitie informe and signify vnto your Maiestie first that the said taxation being singular and without example is in it self a President of dangerous consequence and as your people feare may easily in time be extended further as to badgers of corne makers of malâ— drovers of cattel and such like who in such sort are to be licenced by Iustices of peace as those persons are upon whom at this time this present chargâ— and tax is layd Secondly such howses being often times at the best the harbours of idlenes drunkennes whoredome all maner of felonies the licences are now the honester sort in most places refusing to vndergo the new charge rented taken by the looser and baser sort of people who have no conscience how they gaine By reason whereof all manner of vice and evill behaviour is likely every day to encrease neyther can the Iustices of peace conveniently prevent the same for that the persons licenced under the late contribution affirme with clamour that they have a toleration for a yeare and that such persons are not friends unto the crowne that seeke to suppresse them and thereby to diminish your highnes revenewes Thirdly many Iustices of peace being sworne to execute their office which for this particular they conceive to be that alehouse keepers formerly licensed are not to be suppressed without iust and reasonable cause cannot be satisfied touching their sayd oath but are much distracted and perplexed what to doe the late instructions notwithstanding against such persons aâ— otherwise being not knowen to be of eviâ— behaviour onely refuse to pay this late taxed and imposed some of money In consideration whereof your humble coÌ„mons most instantly beseech your most excellent Maiestie that the former letters and instructions may be countermaunded or stayed and all further directions and proceedings in that kinde forborne Among many resemblances which are observed to be between naturall and politique bodies there is none more apt and naturall then this That the diseases of both doe not at one instant coÌ„monly seise vpon all partes but beginning in some one part doe by tract of time and by degrees get possession of the whole unlesse by applying of wholesome and proper remedies in due time they be prevented Which as it is in many things very visible so it is in nothing more apparant then in this matter of impositions which beginning at the firste eyther with forreigne commodities brought in or such of our owne as were transported is now extended to those coÌ„modities which growing in this kingdome are not transported but uttered to the subjects of the same for proofe whereof wee doe with all humilitie present unto your Ma view the late imposition of 12. pence the chalder of seacole rising in Blith Sunderland not by vertue of any contract or grant as in the coales of New castle but under a meer pretext of your Majesties most royall prerogative which imposition is not onely grievous for the present especially to those of the poorer sort the price of whose onely and most necessarie fewell is thereby to their great griefe inhaunced but dangerous also for the future considering that the reason of this president may be extended to all the commodities of this kingdome May it therefore please your most excellent Maiestie who is the great and soveraigne physition of this estate to apply such a remedie as this disease may be presently cured and all diseases for tyme to come of like nature prevented These grievances were Presented to his Maiesty with a speach of Sir Fr.
