The _Proctors_, or _Procurators_, exhibit their proxies for their
clients; and make themselves parties for them, and draw and give
pleas, or libels and allegations, in their behalf; produce
witnesses, prepare causes for sentence, and attend the Advocates
with the proceedings. These are also admitted by the Archbishop’s
_fiat_, and introduced by two senior Proctors. They wear black robes
and hoods lined with fur.
The terms for the pleading and ending of causes in the civil courts,
are but little different from the term times of the common law. The
order as to the time of the sitting of the several courts, is as
follows. The court of Arches having the pre-eminence, sits first in
the morning. The court of Admiralty sits in the afternoon on the
same day; and the Prerogative court also sits in the afternoon. See
ARCHES, PREROGATIVE _court_, &c.
DOCTORS COMMONS LIBRARY. This is a spacious room, containing a great
number of books of all sorts, more particularly on civil law and
history. It was greatly increased by the addition of the whole
library of Sir John Gibson, Judge of the Prerogative Office, given
by James Gibson, Esq; one of his descendants; and it must be
continually improving, as every Bishop, at his consecration, gives
at least 20_l._ and some 50, towards purchasing books for it.
