THE
DVTIES
OF
CONstables
,
Borsholders
,
Tythingmen
,
and
such
other
lowe
ministers
of
the
Peace
.

The
name
Constable
,
So
then
,
the
name
of
Constable
in
a
hundred
or
franchise
doth
meane
,
that
hee
is
an
Officer
that
supporteth
the
Queenes
Maiestie
in
the
maintenance
of
hir
peace
,
within
the
precinct
of
his
hundred
,
or
franchise
:
and
he
is
manie
times
called
the
High
Constable
,
in
comparison
of
the
Constables
,
or
Petie
Constables
that
be
in
the
townes
or
parishes
within
his
hundred
or
franchise
,
whose
part
it
is
likewise
to
maintaine
the
peace
within
the
seuerall
limits
of
their
owne
townes
or
parishes
.

But
now
,
And
for
this
cause
these
companies
be
yet
in
some
plates
of
England
(
&
namelie
with
vs
in
Kent
)
called
Boroes
of
the
said
word
Borhes
,
Pledges
or
Suerties
:
albeit
in
the
westerne
parts
of
the
realme
they
be
commonly
named
Tythings
,
bicause
they
conteine
(
as
I
told
you
)
the
number
of
ten
men
with
their
families
.
And
euen
as
ten
times
ten
do
make
an
hundred
,
so
,
bicause
it
was
then
also
appointed
that
tenne
of
these
companies
should
at
certeine
times
méete
togither
for
their
matters
of
greater
waight
,
therefore
that
generall
assemblie
(
or
court
)
was
(
and
yet
is
)
called
a
Hundred
.
Furthermore
,
it
was
then
also
ordeined
,
that
if
any
man
were
of
so
euil
credit
,
that
he
could
not
get
himselfe
to
be
receiued
into
one
of
these
Tythings
or
Boroes
,
that
then
he
should
be
shut
vp
in
prison
,
as
a
man
vnwoorthie
to
liue
at
libertie
amongst
men
abroad
.
Boroes
Ealder
(
whom
we
now
cal
Borsholder
)
in
other
places
the
Boroehead
,
or
Headboroe
,
&
in
some
other
places
the
Chiefe
pledge
,
which
last
name
doth
plainelie
expound
the
other
thrée
that
are
next
before
it
:
for
Head
or
elder
of
the
Boroes
,
&
chiefe
of
the
Pledges
be
all
one
.
And
in
some
shires
,
where
euerie
third
borrow
hath
a
Constable
,
there
the
officers
of
the
other
two
be
called
Thirdboroes
.
Franke
pledge
,
or
the
Leete
court
.
10
Hitherto
haue
I
opened
the
ancient
office
of
the
Borsholder
,
Tythingman
,
and
the
rest
,
whereof
also
there
is
yet
to
this
day
some
shew
or
remnant
in
our
Leetes
or
Lawdaies
:
but
if
the
verie
substance
thereof
were
thoroughly
performed
(
as
I
knowe
no
let
,
but
that
by
law
it
may
)
then
shuld
the
peace
of
the
land
be
much
better
maintained
.
Petie
Constable
,
or
Vnderconstable
,
bicause
he
is
a
small
Constable
,
in
respect
of
the
Constable
of
his
Hundred
,
within
whose
limit
he
is
.
For
,
as
about
the
beginning
of
the
reigne
of
King
Edward
the
third
,
petie
Constables
were
deuised
in
townes
&
parishes
for
the
aide
of
the
Constables
of
the
Hundreds
:
so
of
latter
times
also
,
Borsholders
,
Tythingmen
,
Headborroes
,
and
such
like
,
haue
béene
vsed
as
petie
Constables
within
their
owne
Borrowes
and
Tythings
.
And
yet
not
so
vniuersally
,
but
that
some
of
them
haue
at
this
daie
none
other
but
their
olde
office
.
For
in
some
of
the
Westerne
parts
of
Englande
,
you
shall
sée
,
that
where
there
be
many
Tythingmen
in
one
parish
,
there
onelie
one
of
them
is
a
Constable
for
the
Queene
,
and
the
rest
doe
serue
but
as
the
ancient
Tythingmen
did
.
Now
therefore
,
hauing
spoken
of
the
names
and
beginnings
of
these
inferiour
officers
of
the
peace
,
let
vs
also
come
to
the
parts
of
their
duties
.
11
Forsomuch
as
a
great
and
chiefe
part
of
the
duty
both
of
these
High
Constables
of
Lathes
,
Rapes
,
Queenes
Maiesties
peace
,
wherin
(
as
also
in
som
other
points
)
the
power
of
them
all
is
alike
,
and
but
one
,
within
their
seuerall
limits
and
places
of
authoritie
:
therefore
I
thinke
it
good
to
shew
,
first
what
their
common
and
equall
dutie
is
in
matters
concerning
the
peace
,
either
by
their
owne
authoritie
,
or
vnder
the
authoritie
of
others
:
then
afterwarde
to
declare
,
what
their
common
and
like
dutie
is
in
some
other
things
,
not
concerning
the
Peace
:
and
lastly
,
to
open
those
things
wherein
they
haue
a
distinct
and
seuerall
dutie
one
from
another
.
And
here
least
anie
man
should
be
deceiued
in
not
vnderstanding
what
is
ment
by
these
words
.
The
breach
of
the
peace
,
he
must
first
of
all
know
,
that
by
the
breach
of
the
peace
,
is
vnderstood
,
not
onlie
that
fighting
which
we
commonlie
cal
the
breach
of
the
peace
,
but
also
that
euery
murder
,
rape
,
manslaughter
,
and
felonie
,
whatsoeuer
,
and
euerie
affraieng
,
(
or
putting
in
feare
)
of
the
Queenes
people
,
whether
it
be
by
vnlawfull
wearing
of
armour
,
or
by
assembling
of
people
to
do
anie
vnlawful
act
,
are
taken
to
be
disturbances
or
breaches
of
the
peace
.
Anie
of
these
officers
may
also
arrest
such
strange
persons
as
doe
walke
abroad
in
the
night
season
:
and
for
that
cause
the
said
statute
of
Winchester
did
ordaine
,
Souereigne
Ladie
that
now
is
)
they
are
specially
commaunded
.
Shiriffes
,
Constables
,
and
the
said
other
ministers
,
hauing
knowledge
thereof
,
ought
to
go
with
the
strength
of
the
countie
,
and
to
set
themselues
against
it
,
and
ought
also
to
take
and
imprison
such
offendors
.
Lastly
,
If
therefore
a
Constable
,
or
anie
other
of
the
saide
officers
,
shall
sée
anie
men
going
about
to
breake
the
peace
,
as
by
vsing
hot
words
,
by
which
an
Affray
is
like
to
grow
,
then
ought
such
Officer
to
command
those
persons
to
auoid
vpon
paine
of
imprisonment
:
and
if
they
will
not
depart
,
but
shal
draw
weapon
,
or
giue
anie
blowe
,
then
ought
he
to
doe
his
best
to
depart
them
,
&
to
kéepe
them
in
sunder
:
and
he
may
(
for
that
purpose
)
both
vse
his
owne
weapon
,
So
,
if
two
men
be
fighting
togither
in
a
house
(
the
doores
being
shut
)
yet
may
such
an
Officer
breake
open
the
doores
to
cause
the
peace
to
be
kept
,
though
none
of
the
parties
haue
taken
hurt
,
And
in
both
these
causes
,
such
an
officer
may
carrie
them
before
a
Iustice
of
the
peace
to
finde
Suertie
for
the
peace
,
bicause
they
haue
broken
the
peace
alreadie
,
and
are
méete
to
be
bound
that
they
shall
not
thenceforth
breake
it
againe
.
But
if
any
of
the
parties
to
an
Affray
,
And
as
these
Officers
ought
to
are
rest
those
that
doe
make
Assault
vppon
any
priuate
persons
,
Good
abearing
.
A.
B.
hath
done
a
felonie
,
that
is
sufficient
cause
for
any
of
these
Officers
(
that
shall
thereof
suspect
him
)
to
arrest
him
for
it
.
And
I
like
well
of
their
opinion
which
doe
holde
,
But
this
is
to
be
marked
,
Albeit
then
,
that
these
said
Officers
be
subiect
to
the
commandements
of
the
Iustices
of
gaole
deliuerie
,
and
of
Oier
and
Terminer
,
and
of
some
Higher
Iustices
,
yea
,
and
to
the
precepts
of
Coroners
also
,
and
of
other
Officers
,
in
some
certeine
cases
,
yet
bicause
most
commonly
they
are
called
vpon
by
the
Iustices
of
Peace
,
If
therfore
a
Warrant
for
the
Peace
,
or
good
abearing
,
happen
to
be
directed
to
any
of
these
said
Officers
,
then
ought
he
with
all
spéede
and
secrecie
to
finde
out
the
partie
:
and
then
also
may
hée
laie
his
hands
vpon
him
,
and
shew
him
the
matter
,
and
require
him
in
the
Queenes
name
to
go
with
him
to
put
in
suertie
according
to
the
Warrant
.
But
if
the
partie
shall
yéeld
to
go
and
giue
Suertie
,
And
here
the
Officer
must
take
regard
,
and
consider
whether
the
Warrant
doe
come
directly
from
the
méere
authoritie
of
the
Iustices
of
Peace
,
or
else
be
grounded
vppon
a
writ
of
Supplicauit
sent
downe
from
higher
authoritie
(
which
difference
ought
to
appéere
plainely
in
all
Warrants
that
be
well
and
orderlie
made
.
)
And
if
the
Warrant
be
grounded
vppon
such
a
Writ
,
then
may
such
Officer
compell
the
partie
to
go
to
the
very
same
Iustice
or
Iustices
of
Peace
that
made
out
the
warrant
,
and
otherwise
he
may
carrie
him
to
prison
,
as
is
said
before
.
Neither
is
it
requisite
,
that
such
an
Officer
should
danse
vp
and
downe
after
the
partie
(
as
many
vse
to
doe
)
vntil
he
can
finde
out
suerties
:
but
he
may
lawfullie
kéepe
him
,
vntill
that
he
can
get
suerties
to
come
vnto
him
:
the
ignorance
of
which
point
is
the
cause
,
both
that
many
an
euill
man
escapeth
,
&
manie
an
honest
Officer
is
punished
for
it
.
But
here
it
happeneth
many
times
,
that
the
purtie
(
hearing
that
the
peace
is
granted
against
him
)
offereth
himselfe
with
suerties
,
for
that
cause
vnto
some
other
Iustice
of
Peace
,
or
findeth
such
suertie
in
some
of
the
Courts
at
Westminster
,
and
so
hath
a
Supersedeas
ready
to
shew
such
Officer
,
as
commeth
to
him
with
a
Warrant
as
is
aforesaide
.
Now
,
if
that
be
so
,
then
is
the
Officer
discharged
thereby
,
and
ought
not
any
further
to
molest
the
partie
.
But
yet
it
shall
be
good
,
that
such
Officer
doe
kéepe
the
Supersedeas
for
his
better
discharge
:
least
otherwise
he
be
called
to
account
for
not
seruing
the
Warrant
that
was
sent
vnto
him
.
If
a
Warrant
be
directed
to
a
Constable
,
or
such
other
Officer
,
to
arrest
our
that
is
indited
of
Felonie
,
Finally
,
the
Constable
or
such
other
of
the
said
Officers
,
hauing
arrested
any
to
be
conueied
so
the
Gaole
,
must
take
good
héed
,
that
he
doe
not
willingly
,
or
negligently
,
suffer
such
partie
to
escape
from
him
.
For
,
if
the
arrest
were
for
Felonie
,
then
by
a
willing
escape
the
Officer
himselfe
becommeth
a
Felon
also
.
And
of
whatsoeuer
other
kinde
the
offence
be
,
if
the
Officer
do
,
by
his
will
,
or
negligence
,
suffer
the
partie
to
escape
from
him
,
he
shall
be
fined
for
it
,
according
to
the
quantitie
of
his
fault
,
by
the
discretion
of
those
that
shall
be
Iudges
of
it
.
And
least
any
such
Officer
shoulde
flatter
himself
,
in
thinking
that
he
may
passe
through
with
some
easie
Fine
,

Thus
haue
I
performed
the
first
part
of
my
promise
,
and
haue
shewed

Embracerie
,

Vnlawfull

or

vppon
paine
that
the
said
Constables
,
and
other
the

any
such

.
And
such
Taker
ought
then
also
to
make
a

in
writing
subscribed
with
his
name
,
conteining
euerie
of
the
saide
things
so
taken
in
euerie
place
:
and
ought
then
also
(
vnder
the
paine
of
a
Hundred
Marks
)
to
deliuer
the
same
to
the
saide
High
Constable

also
ought

All
these
things
heretofore
rehersed
,
whether
they
concerne
the
preseruation
of
the
Peace
,
or
any
other
matter
besides
the
Peace
,
may
&
ought
to
be
done
and
executed
indifferently
(
as
I
thinke
)
by
any
of
the
saide
Officers
within
the
precinct
of
his
authoritie
:
that
is
to
say
,
as
well
by
the
high
Constable
of
the
whole
Hundred
or
Franchise
,
within
his
Hundred
or
franchise
,
as
by
the
Constable
,
pety
Constable
,
Tythingman
,
Borsholder
,
Boroehead
,
Headboroe
,
Thirdboroe
,
or
chiefe
Pledge
,
within
his
towne
,
parish
,
Tything
,
Boroe
,
or
Hamlet
:
and
that
so
,
as
none
of
them
hath
more
power
of
office
therin
than
the
other
,
although
some
of
them
haue
longer
limits
of
place
than
the
rest
.
But
now
I
am
come
to
such
things
as
do
seuerally
belong
to
some
of
these
Officers
,
It
séemeth
to
me
,
that
in
these
two
cases
next
aboue
,
the
words
,
high
Constables
,
high
Tythingmen
,
&
head
Officers
doe
exclude
Petie
Constables
,
Borsholders
,
and
such
like
to
meddle
therein
:
bicause
none
are
called
High
,
or
Head
,
but
in
comparison
of
Lowe
and
Base
.

High

of

of
the

holden
in
the
fift
yéere
of
the

of
our
gracious
Queene

may
yet
still
holde
their

,
so
that
nothing
be
done
in

,
repugnant
to
the

of

after

and
to
the
intent
also
that
the

of

may
therby
cal
the
said

,

Constable
to

These

opinion

pertaine
as

The
Maiors

,

In
all
these
cases
also
,
last
before
rehearsed
,
it
séemeth
that
Borsholders
,
Tythingmen
,
Headboroes
,
and
other
such
(
being
in
townes
and
parishes
,
vnderneath
Constables
that
be
there
)
cannot
meddle
:
bicause
such
Constables
be
(
in
comparison
of
them
)
called
Head
Officers
.
Now
therefore
vpon
all
the
whole
discourse
before
written
,
Borsholders
,
Tythingmen
,
Headboroes
,
Boroeheads
,
Thirdboroes
,
and
chiefe
pledges
,
whether
they
be
there
the
onelie
Officers
for
the
peace
,
or
be
vnderneth
Constables
,
may
within
their
Borowes
,
Tythings
,
or
Hamlets
,
doe
manie
things
that
the
others
may
doe
:
and
that
there
are
manie
other
points
,
which
those
other
Officers
may
doe
,
and
wherewith
these
Borsholders
and
the
rest
cannot
meddle
at
all
.
And
therefore
,
to
auoid
idle
repetition
of
matters
alreadie
spoken
,
I
say
shortly
,
that
it
an
Vnder
Borsholder
,
Tythingman
,
Headboroe
,
Boroehead
,
Thirdboroe
,
or
chiefe
pledge
,
will
sée
what
belongeth
to
him
to
doe
,
he
must
looke
before
vpon
all
such
cases
,
where
his
power
is
declared
to
be
equall
(
for
those
points
)
with
the
power
,
either
of
a
High
Constable
of
the
Hundred
,
or
a
Constable
of
a
towne
or
parish
:
for
in
all
such
things
he
hath
to
deale
as
well
as
they
:
but
where
any
thing
before
is
shewed
to
apperteine
onlie
to
the
High
Constable
of
a
Hundred
,
or
onlie
to
the
Constable
,
or
chiefe
or
head
Officer
of
a
towne
or
parish
,
there
such
a
Borsholder
,
Tythingman
,
or
any
of
the
rest
,
hath
nothing
to
doe
with
it
.
And
thus
,
hauing
opened
,
so
shortly
,
and
plainly
,
as
I
could
the
duties
of
all
these
said
ministers
of
the
peace
,
I
doe
shut
vp
this
worke
:
desiring
those
that
shall
take
any
profit
of
this
labour
,
to
yéelde
thanks
to
God
the
most
liberall
giuer
.
