reign of the lord "James the fecond, the lare king, were tenants
as of the freehold of the tenements aforefaid v/itb the appurte-
nance.";, as the fame Henry Clitheroe by his writ aforcfnid above
fuppofds: And this he prays may be inquired of by the coun-
try, ^f.
And the faid Thomas and Mary fay, that the p'ea of flie faij
Henry above in replving pleaded, and the matter in the fame
contained, are not fufficient in law for the faid Henry to main-
tain his laid asflion againll them the fai^l Thomas and Mary had,
iind that they to that plea in manner and form atorefaid have no
necefTity nor are by the law of the land bound to ai:fwer ; And
this they are ready to verify : Wherefore for want of a fufficient
replication in this behalf the fame Thomas and Mny prnv jtidg-
. inenr, and that the faid Henry may be precluded from his aftion
aforcfaid had, ^r.
And the faid Wfwrj, for that he hath in replying above alledged
fuffijient matter in law to maintain his writ aforefaid, which he
is ready to verify, which faid matter the faid Thomas and Mury
do not deny, nor thereto any v/ay anfwer, but the averment
aforefaid altogether refufe to admit, prays judgment, and that his
vrit aforefaid may be adjudged good, and feifin of the tenements
aforefaid, with the appurtenances, may be adjudged to him, ^r.
And becaufe rhe jultices h'ere will advife themfelves of and
upon the preniiifes before they give judgment thereon, a dav
is given the parties aforefaid here until on the morrow of the
Holy Trinity to hear their judgment thereon, becaufe the fame
iulHces thereof not yet, fife At which day here come as well
the faid Hemy as the fard Thomas and Mary by their artornies
aforefaid ; and upon this the prcmiffes being feen, and by the
juflices here more fully underflood, it feems to the fame juiHces
here, that the faid Henry hath above in replying alledged fuffi-
cient matter in law to maintain his writ aforefaid : Wherefore \i
is faid by the court here to the faid 1 homas and Ma'y, that they
farther anfwer the faid Hemy to his writ and count aforefaid, l^a
And upon this the faid Thomas and Mary defend his right when,
f r. and fay, that the faiii Henry ought not to have his af^ion
fiforefaid againft them, becaufe they fay, that long before
the faid Chrijlopher had any thine to do in the tenements afore-
faid with the appurtenances, one Bryan Edlyn was feifed cf and
in ihe tencnicr,ts aforefaid, with the appurtenances, hisdemefne

deliver him a copy cf the faid poll, and was ready and offered
to pay him any rcafonabie fum of money for the Vvriiing thereof
as he lliould rcquiie: But the laid bailifFdid not deliver the fame,
but contrary to his duty, and the faid act of pariiamenr, volun-
tarily and utterly refufea to deliver him a copy of fuch poll,
whereby the plaintiff in the laid attion was intitied to demand
and recovtr the laid penalty of 500/.
Upon the general ilTue pleaued, this action was tried at the •
Lent afiizes liolden for the county oi' ^Somerfet 2 of kincr Ge?. be-
fore Mr. Jutlice Ej/ie, by a fubltantial jury, and after a very
Icr.g trial upon full evidence, a verdift was given for Mr. PAe-
lipps to the latisfaftion of the judge who tried the cauie ; and it
appeared that the faid Thomas Smiih (who is a praftifing attor-
ney) behaved himfelf very arbitrarily, and that his whole pro-
ceedings as bailiff, and particularly this for which the aflion was
brought, was in open defiance and contempt of the law. Upon
this verdid the court of kings bench gave judgment for Edxuurd
P/ielipps, the plaintiff in the atSlion, and the defendant Thomas
i>Mii/i, brought a writ of error in the exchequer chamber, where
the faid judgment was affirmed unanimoufly by all the judges of
the common pleas and barons of the exchequer.
That this a(5tion being founded on a law made to remedy
many great abufes committed by officers concerned in eleftions
for members to ferve in parliament, which had been long com-
plained of, and by which, if a remedy had not been timely ap-
plied, the very conftitution of parliaments might in a general uiea- F 266 7
fure have been fubverted ; and the faft being verified by ver-
dift, and the ground and nature of the a£tion, as well as the
form and manner of the proceeding, having been approved of
by the judgment of all the judges of England,
This defendant in the 'writ of error humbly prays.,
that the faid judgment in the exchequer chamber
may be affirmed by the judgment of this honoura-
