A
Proclamation
for
the
removing
of
the
Courts
Kings-Bench
and
of
the
Exchequer
,
from
Westminster
to
Oxford
.
WHEREAS
the
sole
power
of
appoynting
the
Place
or
Places
in
which
Our
Great
Courts
of
Iustice
shall
be
kept
,
and
of
removing
them
from
one
place
to
another
,
as
urgent
occasion
shall
move
Us
,
by
the
Lawes
of
this
Kingdome
is
inherent
in
Our
Royall
Person
.
And
whereas
it
is
of
great
importance
to
Our
service
in
these
times
of
difficulty
and
distraction
,
to
have
Our
Iudges
of
Our
said
Courts
to
attend
neere
unto
Us
,
by
whose
advice
We
may
the
better
proceed
in
all
those
Cases
wherein
the
Iudgement
and
knowledge
of
the
Lawes
is
required
.
And
whereas
more
especially
the
Chancellor
,
or
Lord
Keeper
of
the
Great
Seale
of
England
,
and
the
Judges
of
Our
Court
,
called
the
Kings-Bench
,
were
and
are
to
follow
the
King
;
and
Our
Court
of
Exchequer
,
being
the
proper
Court
of
Our
Revenue
,
ought
to
attend
Us
as
We
shall
appoynt
.
And
whereas
Our
Cities
of
London
and
Westminster
have
been
,
and
yet
are
,
the
chiefe
Causers
,
and
Maintainers
of
this
prsent
Rebellion
against
Us
And
We
taking
into
Our
serious
consideration
,
that
while
Our
Courts
of
Kings-Bench
,
Common-Pleas
,
&
of
Our
Exchequer
are
kept
at
Westminster
,
many
of
Our
good
and
Loyall
Subjects
might
be
compelled
or
injoyned
,
by
Proces
in
Our
name
,
to
make
their
appearance
there
,
which
they
could
not
doe
without
hazard
of
Imprisonment
,
or
other
dammage
or
violence
from
the
fomentors
of
this
Rebellion
;
and
many
might
suffer
prejudice
by
Verdicts
and
Judgements
had
and
obtained
against
them
by
default
or
otherwise
,
when
they
could
not
with
safety
come
to
make
their
just
defences
:
thereupon
We
did
resolve
to
remove
those
Courts
from
Westminster
to
Our
City
of
Oxford
,
whether
other
of
Our
Courts
of
Iustice
have
been
and
are
already
removed
by
Our
former
Proclamation
.
And
to
the
end
that
there
might
not
be
any
prejudice
to
any
of
Our
Subjects
,
by
discontinuance
of
their
Suits
in
those
Courts
or
otherwise
,
We
did
send
Our
severall
Writs
of
Adjournment
,
directed
to
Our
Iudges
of
Our
said
Courts
of
Kings-Bench
and
Common-Pleas
,
and
to
Our
Barons
of
Out
Exchequer
,
thereby
commanding
and
giving
Warrant
and
authority
to
them
respectively
,
to
adjourne
all
Pleas
and
Prices
depending
before
them
,
in
and
from
the
Two
and
Twentieth
day
of
November
last
past
,
to
the
first
returne
of
Hillary
Terme
next
,
commonly
called
Octabis
Hillarii
,
to
be
helden
then
at
Our
City
of
Oxford
.
But
our
Messenger
sent
with
those
Writs
(
as
We
haue
been
informed
)
for
no
other
cause
but
for
doing
his
duty
in
carrying
and
delivering
those
Writs
,
was
imprisoned
,
and
in
an
unjust
and
illegall
way
Sentenced
to
dye
,
and
brought
to
a
place
of
execution
,
and
threatned
to
be
Hanged
,
as
at
that
time
another
of
Our
Messengers
for
no
other
cause
then
for
doing
his
duty
in
the
like
kind
,
in
carrying
Our
Proclamations
to
London
,
was
then
shamefully
Hanged
and
Murthered
,
(
an
Act
so
Barbarous
as
no
former
age
can
paraleli
)
and
We
have
not
yet
received
any
certain
and
particular
information
touching
the
execution
of
those
Writs
.
In
pursuance
therefore
of
Our
former
resolution
of
removing
those
Courts
from
Westminster
to
our
City
of
Oxford
,
We
doe
for
the
present
by
this
Our
Proclamation
,
authorized
under
Our
Great
Seale
of
England
,
Ordaine
and
appoynt
,
and
by
these
presents
publish
and
Declare
Our
Will
and
Pleasure
to
be
,
That
Our
said
Courts
of
Kings-Bench
and
Exchequer
,

the
next
Hillary

,
at
the
usuall
and
accustomed
time
for
holding
of
the
same

be
holden
and
kept
at
Our
said
City
of
Oxford
,
and
not
at
Westminster
,
and
shall
be
continued
and
kept
there
during
that
whole
Terme
and
afterwards
at
the
severall
times
and
Termes
for
holding
and
keeping
of
those
Courts
,
untill
Our
farther
pleasure
be
known
and
published
for
removing
them
from
Oxford
.
And
We
doe
hereby
straightly
charge
and
Command
,
all
Our
Iudges
of
Our
said
Court
of
Kings-Bench
