An
Act
for
Abridging
of
Proclamations
upon
Fines
,
to
be
leavied
at
the
Common
Law
.
WHereas
a
Statute
made
within
the
Kingdom
of
England
,
in
the
fourth
year
of
King
Henry
the
Seventh
,
hath
Ordained
that
every
Fine
to
be
leavied
with
Proclamations
in
the
Kings
Court
,
before
his
Iustices
of
the
Common
Pleas
,
should
be
proclaimed
in
the
same
Court
that
term
in
which
it
is
ingrossed
,
and
in
three
terms
then
next
following
,
at
four
several
days
in
every
term
,
by
reason
whereof
they
ought
to
be
proclaimed
four
times
in
every
of
the
four
several
Terms
,
and
that
during
the
time
of
proclaiming
of
such
Fines
,
all
Pleas
should
cease
,
which
to
do
according
to
the
said
Statute
,
considering
the
number
of
Fines
which
are
like
hereafter
to
be
levied
,
would
require
several
days
in
every
Term
,
and
be
some
prejudice
and
interruption
to
the
Causes
and
Suits
,
in
the
said
Court
of
Common
Pleas
within
this
Kingdom
,
and
also
give
occasions
of
sundry
errors
through
the
negligence
and
misprisions
of
Clerks
,
in
mis-entring
the
same
,
and
otherwise
,
whereby
the
Fines
may
be
reversed
:
Be
it
therefore
Enacted
by
the
Kings
most
Excellent
Majestie
,
the
Lords
Spiritual
and
Temporal
,
and
the
Commons
in
this
present
Parliament
assembled
,
and
by
Authority
of
the
same
,
that
all
Fines
with
Proclamations
from
and
after
the
Feast
of
Easter
next
ensuing
,
to
be
levied
in
the
said
Court
,
shall
be
proclaimed
only
four
times
,
that
is
to
say
,
once
in
the
Term
wherein
it
is
Ingrossed
,
and
once
in
every
of
the
three
Terms
,
holden
next
after
the
same
Ingrossing
,
and
that
every
Fine
proclaimed
(
as
aforesaid
)
shall
be
of
as
great
force
and
effect
in
Law
,
to
all
intents
and
purposes
,
as
if
the
same
had
been
sixteen
times
proclaimed
,
according
to
the
Statutes
heretofore
made

all
other

doubt
;
Be

that
good
effect
within
the

,
and

,
that

expected

in
the
said
Courts
are
not
of
so
ready
dispatch
as
the
presentments
befo●e
the
Iustices
of
Assize
,
and
for
that
there
are
no
Iustices
of
Assize
which
do
ride
within
the
County
of
Dublin
,
or

County

the
City
of
Dublin
,
offending
contrary
to
the

the
same
,
And
to
the
intent
the
said
Law
may
the
better
be
put
in
Execution
,
It
is
further
Enacted
by
the
Authority
aforesaid
that
the
Informer

cause
such
presentments

Killing

.
FOrasmuch
as
it
hath
been
questionable
that

disposed
person
or
persons
,
do
attempt
felloniously
to

the

should
attempt
Burgularly

,
whether
the

happening
in
such
Case
to
slay
any
such
person
so
attempting
to
commit
such
murther
,
Robbery
,

Burglary
,
should
for
the
death
of
such
evil
disposed
person
forfeit

loose
his
goods

,
as
any

do
that
by
chance
medly
should
happen
to
kill
or
slay
any
other
person
or
in
his

their
defence
,
for
the
declaration
of
which
ambiguity
and
doubt
.
Be
it
Enacted
by
our
Sovereign
Lord
the
King
,
with
the
assent
of
the

FOrasmuch
as

provided
for
securing
of

Estates

the
Common
Calamity
of
Wars
which
for
many
years
disturbed
the
peace

and
misprisions
of
Clerks
and
Officers
in
writing
engrossing
,
and
prosecuting
of
such
Fines

Recoveries
,
and
the
careless
keeping
of
the
Records
thereof
many
errors
and
defects
have
passed
and
overslipt
therein
to
the
great
danger
of
the
shaking

all
such

promotions
Spiritual
as
he
should
have
at
the
time
of
such
certificate
to
be
made
or
at
any
time
after
,
so
that
all
such
dignities
,
benefices
or
promotions
should
be
clearly
void
of
Incumbents
in
the
law
to
all
intents
and
purposes
as
if
the
said
Incumbent
were
indeed
dead
,
which
Act
being
fitted
and
accomodated
to
the
state
of
those
times
to
take
away
the
forreign
dependance
of
the
Clergy
,
is
become
a
means
often
to
deprive
Patrons
of
their
right
of
presentation
,
without
any
default
of
theirs
,
the
Ordinary
not
being
bound
to
give
notice
to
the
Patron
,
in
case
of
any
such
omission
,
&
for
that
a
meer
omission
in
the
Incumbent
deserveth
not
to
be
so
rigorously
punished
,
Be
it
Enacted
by
the
Kings
most
Excellent
Majesty
with
the
Assent
of
the
Lords
Spiritual
&
Temporal
and
Commons
in
this
present
Parliament
Assembled

and
by
the
Authority
of

or

after
the
last

of
this
present
Session
shall
be
no
deprivation
nor
cause
of
forfeiture
