Between the proprietary action and the possessory assizes there is growing use in the king's courts of writs of entry, by which a tenant may be ordered to give up land, e.g. by a recent flaw in a tenant's title, for a term which has expired, by a widow for her late husband's land, or by an heir who has become of full age from his guardian. For instance: " ...Command Tertius that ... he render to Claimant, who is of full age, as it is said, ten acres ...which he claims to be his right and inheritance and into which the said Tertius has no entry save by Secundus, to whom Primus demised [gaged] them, who had only the wardship thereof while the aforesaid Claimant was under age, as he says...". But most litigation about land is still through the writ of right for proprietary issues and the assizes of novel disseisin and mort d'ancestor for possessory issues. Actions for debt; covenant; and account, e.g by a lord to his bailiff and receiver of his money, were actions in the king's court. Royal itinerant justices, who were members of the royal courts, traveled on eyre on regular circuits to the counties every seven years. They had an administrative function as well as a judicial function. They gave interrogatories to local assizes of twelve men to determine what had happened there since the last eyre. Information was aquired on royal proprietary rights, escheats, wardships, treasury matters, and official misdoings of royal officers, sheriffs, coroners, and bailiffs, which could be dealt with in an administrative way. (These administrative duties ceased in the first half of the 1300s.) All boroughs had to send twelve burgesses who were to indict any burgesses suspected of breaking the royal law. Every crime, every invasion of royal rights, and every neglect of police duties was to be presented and tried. Suspects were held in gaol until their cases could be heard and gaol breaks were common. Punishment after trial was prison for serious crimes, expulsion from the realm for less serious crimes, and pledges for good behavior for lesser crimes. Fines and amercements both for individual criminal offenses and local communities' faults brought revenue into the Exchequer as profits of justice. The king could increase fines and amercements or pardon a person found guilty. The visitation of these justices was anticipated with trepidation. In 1237, the residents of Cornwall hid in the woods rather than face the itinerant justices. (The court of the justices in eyre lasted until 1971.) Royal coroners held inquests on all sudden deaths to determine whether they were accidental or not. If not, royal justices held trial. They also had duties in treasure trove and shipwreck cases.
