[Footnote 437: Vide 2 Inst. 311.] CHAP. XIX. “The King to the Sheriff, Health. I command you, that you cause a delay until a certain fit time, when you can be present, of the Recognition which is summoned between _R._ and _M._ concerning the divisions[438] of such Vills, which by my Justices of those parts is injoined to you and _H._ to take before you; for the taking of which, as it is said, you have deputed others in your place, because it is not the Custom that when any matter appertaining to my Judges[439] is injoined to others to be executed, that they should transfer over to others again any thing which appertains to my Judge. Witness &c.” [Footnote 438: Vide ante p. 133. Note 1.—As to the latter part of the present Writ, our author surpasses even himself in quaintness of expression.] [Footnote 439: _Ad Justicias._ _Justicia_, a Justice, or Judge, or, as it has in subsequent times been written, _Justiciarius_. (Vide Selden op. Omn. 1669. Madox’s Exch. 24. &c.) Mr. Selden considers the use of this term by Glanville as a proof, that the work itself is of the age of Henry the 2nd, as we have already observed, in our introductory address to the Reader.] CHAP. XX. “The King to the Sheriff, Health. I command you, that justly and without delay, you cause _A._ who was the Wife of _R._ to have her reasonable Dower of the whole Fee that was the said _R._’s, exactly and in every thing, save to his Heir the capital Messuage, and that you cause the said Wife to have another messuage, unless any Land in which there is no Messuage may have been named to her in Dower; and it shall not cease, because the Fee of the aforesaid _R._ is held of my Barony, because, I will not, nor does the Law require, that the Wives of Knights should on account of this lose their Dower. But, of the Chattels that were of the aforesaid _R._ I command you, that you cause them all to be in peace, so that no part be removed, neither to make division, nor for any other purpose, until his debts are entirely discharged; and of the residue there shall be afterwards a reasonable division made, according to the Custom of my Land. And, if any part of the Chattels of the aforesaid _R._ shall have been removed since his death, it shall be returned to his other Chattels to pay his Debts. Witness &c.” CHAP. XXI. “The King to the Ecclesiastical Judges, Health.[440] I prohibit you, least you hold the Plea in Court Christian, which is between _N._ and _R._ of the lay Fee of the aforesaid _R._ of which he complains that _N._ draws him into Plea in Court Christian, before you, because such Plea belongs to my Crown and Dignity. Witness &c.” [Footnote 440: Vide F.N.B. 90.] CHAP. XXII.
