And it being objected, the 1 _Mar. Cap._ 9. had enlarged the power of the Censors, as appeared by the words of the act; it was clearly resolved, that it does not enlarge their power to fine and imprison for any matter not within the 14th _Hen._ 8. the words of the act of _Queen Mary_, being “_according to the tenor and meaning of the said act_.” And further, “_shall commit any offender, &c. for his, &c. offence or disobedience, contrary to any article or clause contained in the said grant or act to any ward, gaol, &c._” And in this case, it does not appear by the record, that the plaintiff has done any thing contrary to any article or clause within the grant or act of 14th _Hen._ 8. and for the two last points judgment was given for the plaintiff, _Nullo contradicente_ as to them. _Michss. Term._ 6 _James._ The Lord _Chief Justice_, _Sir Edward Coke_, in the conclusion of his argument, observes these seven rules for the better direction of the President and Commonalty of the said College for the future. 1. That none can be punished for practising Physic within London, but by forfeiture of five pounds a month, which is to be recovered by law. 2. If any practise Physic there for less time than a month that he shall forfeit nothing. 3. If any person, prohibited by the Statute, offend in _non bene exequendo, &c._ they may punish him according to the Statute within the month. 4. Those whom they commit to prison by the Statute ought to be committed immediately. 5. The fines which they assess according to the Statute belong to the king. 6. They cannot impose fine or imprisonment without making a record thereof. 7. The cause for which they impose a fine and imprisonment ought to be certain, for this is traversable.[90] For though they have Letters Patents and an Act of Parliament, yet inasmuch as the party grieved has no other remedy, neither by writ of error or otherwise, and they are not made judges, nor a court given to them, but have authority only to do it, the cause of their commitment is traversable in action of false imprisonment brought against them. _Chief Justice Holt_, in delivering the opinion of the Court, said that notwithstanding the opinion in _Dr. Bonham’s_ case, the charge of male administration of physic is not traversable, and that my _Lord Coke’s_ opinion in that case was but _Obiter_, and no judicial opinion: besides that he seemed to have been under some transport, because _Dr. Bonham_ was a graduate of Cambridge, his own mother university. And he himself after in the same case says, that if the Censors do convict a man for such offence, they ought to make a record of it; and that, they cannot do unless they are Judges of Record: and then we say their proceedings are untraversable, and they unpunishable for what they do as judges. 12 _Mod._ 388. _Pasc._ 12 _Will._ 3. in the case of _Doctor Grenville against the College of Physicians_.
