Of Clerkship.

CLerkship in the Court of Common-Pleas was heretofore a distinct Profession of it self, Clerks living in London being Attornies in few Causes for proper Clients, and most Attornies living out of London imploying Clerks living in London in draw­ing and entring of their Pleadings. But Country-Attornies much increasing in number, and being severally less imployed in Causes, and some of them having been bred Clerks, most of them (though ig­norant) have of later times (commencing in the time of the late Wars, when the Law-Pleadings were in English) drawn and entered their own Pleadings; whereby many of them are ill drawn, and the Records of the Court not so fairly and fitly entered as they ought to be; which if checkt, it would inevitably follow, that most of these igno­rant Attornies would begin and prosecute most of their Causes for Clients Plaintiffs in the Court of Kings-Bench, the Clerks and Attornies whereof have greatly increased in number of later times, and deal in Causes there for Attornies of the [Page 3]Common-Pleas without any Attornies Fees, and have an easier course of doing business there, with more benefit to themselves (as I conceive) than the Attornies and Clerks of the Common Pleas have.

Attornies ought, and anciently did attend the Courts at Westminster the whole Term or most part thereof, whereby most businesses were finished in the Term-time in due order. But Attornies in­creasing, and their respective businesses decreasing, Sollicitors (acting in businesses) staying in the Coun­tries, and gaining Clients of Attornies from them, and many Attornies of the Court of Common-Pleas imploying in many Causes for their Clients Plaintiffs Clerks of the Court of Kings-Bench, most Country-Attornies of later times have for­born to come to London till towards the end of Terms, whereby their businesses have come all on a huddle, and have been disorderly done in and after the end of Terms, the Judges, Councellors, Offi­cers, and Clerks till towards the end of Terms wanting imployment, and then becoming excessive­ly full of it, and most businesses forced to be done after the end of Terms, many times to the Clients great disadvantage, and other Mens (especially Clerks) inconvenience. For remedy whereof di­vers Orders have been made and renewed in the Courts of Kings-Bench, and Common-Pleas, en­joyning Attornies to come to London by the third Return of Michaelmas-Term, and the second Return of every other Term, and to stay til the Terms be ended. All which Orders have proved ineffectual, neither do I conceive that this mischief will be re­medied without a severe Act of Parliament.

For my own part, I conceive that it would be fit that no common Sollicitor be permitted, but in­quired out in each Country: And that no Attornies Name be used by others: And that Attornies should be enjoyned to attend the Courts by a certain time in each Term, whereby their businesses may be set on doing, and motions made in the Court (when requisite) in due time, but not to be enjoyned to stay in London to the end of a Term, many of them having not businesses to imploy themselves in Lon­don half so long time; and indeed the profit of At­tornies by Causes at the Common-Law at Westmin­ster being not to most of them considerable, their chief gains being by Conveiances, keeping of Courts, Causes in inferior Courts, and Solliciting in other Courts.

Clerkship in the Court of Common-Pleas being much decayed, Clerks bred in London, for their bet­ter subsistence (Clerkship of it self not affording them a fitting maintenance for themselves and Fa­milies there) have been of late times forced to deal as Attornies, for Attornies of the Kings-Bench in the Causes which they have in the Court of Com­mon-Pleas, and to be Attornies for proper Clients in London and elsewhere, and many of them to be­come Country-Attornies.

The Pleadings or the Law being of good proper and significant Latin, I would have a Clerk to be a good Latin-Scholar (and a little Greek may do him good) able to render the English of Indentures and other Writings into true and significant Latin; Of an able and healthy Body to endure Cold and fitting at his Writing, And his Estate in present or future hope not to be so large as to lessen his [Page 5]Industry; That he be placed a Clerk with a Pro­thonotaries Clerk, a Philizer, or able Attornie; Not to be taken to be a Clerk for less than five years. Six years time may be better for the Master and himself, if he diligently follow his business; Skill in Clerkship being not attained without much la­bour, many Presidents, and diligent Observance.

The Pleadings of the Law being to be written in Court-hand, I advise a young Clerk to get a good Copy, of which some are in Print, and to get (if he may) and imitate some old needless Writs or other Writings of a good Hand. And if his Secretary-Hand be not good, let him go to some good Master to teach him a good Sett and Running-Secretary-Hand. And I would farther have him learn, and continually practise short-Writing, for the learning whereof he may buy a Book, and not go to any School, the swift writing of it is not got without a continued Practice, the use of it may be necessa­ry (if not profitable) divers ways in the course of his Profession, as it hath been to my self in particular.

And it is necessary for him to understand the Law-French, which with a little Observance in a small time may be gained. For the effecting where­of, let him read the Terms of the Law, and Little­ton in French and English. When he hath Written an hour or less, let him Read, and after a while Reading, fall again to his Writing, and stand at his Reading, and sit at his Writing for the most part.

Let his Writing (especially the Court-hand) be with the full of the Pen, indeavouring to make a full, short, and round Letter without long Heads, Tails, or Dashes, and not a tall slender Letter, [Page 6]with the side of the Pen, and sit as upright at his Writing with his Elbowes near to his sides, and Writing as straight before him as he may.

I advise him (at least before he comes to a quick and perfect hand) to Write all things fairly and as well as he can, unless necessity of Expedition re­quire his speed. Non sufficit bene aliquid agere, nisi etiam fiat venuste. Especially let Rolls be entered in a full Set-hand.

A small neat hand is most commendable for Writs, which should stand on as little ground as may well be. And I advise a Clerk constantly to read over the Writs which he makes, and examine other Wri­tings, when he hath done them. And in Parchment Writings not presently upon the writing to amend any faults which he makes, while the Ink is moist, which would make blurs, but to make a little prick with his Pen in the Margent, and proceed, and when he hath done, ere the Ink be dry, amend his faults, and scrape out the pricks.

Let all his amendments and interlinings be done with as great exactness neatness and care, as may be. And if any thing be written doubtfully, or not very legible, let him blot or scrape it out, and new write the same.

Let all Towns and Sirnames be written at length, and without Abbreviations, as Milverton, not Mil­uton Culpeper not Culpeꝑ. & likewise let the forms of words in original Writs be observed, not writing ꝑ instead of par, ꝑochia for parochia, ꝑtes for partes or the like.

Writing of Presidents.

FOr writing of Presidents, I advise a young Clerk to get him at first a Book of two or three quires of Paper in Quarto for Common-Presidents of De­clarations, Pleas, Judgments, Writs, return of Writs, Warrants of Attorny and the like, severally, and in several places thereof, of which he hath or is likely to have most daily or common use. But after that he is a perfect Scribe, and can do ordinary businesses, I advise him (if he desire to be a skilful Clerk) with his Masters leave, to get divers Books of Paper ru­led on the sides with red Ink (not needful at top or bottom) of some six quires a piece of the best lar­ger sort of Paper he may get, bearing Ink well, a Ream whereof is usually sold for about fix shillings, for the writing of Presidents. Let the Books be bound in good Vellam, or in Leather not hardly or stiffly, but easily to ly open, and string'd with strong coloured Tape, or Cotton-Ribbon, or clasp­ed. And let one whole Book at least be for Actions on the Case distinguished in several parts thereof, as into Actions on the Case of Promises, Nusance, Disturbance, Slander, &c. of which my Table of Presidents may be of good use to him for direction. Another Book of Actions of Debt; Another of Tres­pass; Another of Replevin, &c. in like manner distin­guished into several Titles according to the several nature of the Presidents; And the like Books for real and mixt Actions, Prohibitions and the like. By which Books he may readily find such Presidents, as he hath written, without the help of a Table, and [Page 8]may avoid the writing of one President twice, which I have found often done by the same hand in Ma­nuscript-Books of Presidents, which I have bought, being written confusedly and out of Order.

As the Clerk must not refuse to write some Presi­dents for his Master, so the Master ought in Reason to allow his Clerk at times of leisure to read the Law, and write Presidents for himself, which may inable him for his profession, when he shall have ser­ved his time of Clerkship.

In writing of Presidents, I advise a Clerk to write the full matter, as well of Form as of Substance at length, with the Term and number-Roll, if he may, and to write the Christian-Names and Sirnames of persons, and the names of Towns at first, and when the same come again to be written, to write only a letter for a word as J. D. for Johannes Doe; but if there be other names of the same Letters, then write again the same at length, that when a Presi­dent, is writtē, it may be plainly read, & written forth fully again, as it was taken, if there be occasion.

In Presidents let all sums be written in the larger figures, as X pound IX shillings VI pence, the years of our Lord, or the Kings Reign in the like Figures; the days, till past five, at length, as Primo, secundo, unus, duo, &c. but after five, in the like numeral figures as vi^o die, vi dies, &c.

Before the beginning of Pleas let a little space be left, as in Printing, whereby readily to see the be­ginning of the ensuing Plea; and at the end of each side write the succeeding word, as is usual in Print­ing.

Let the dusting or sanding of Presidents in Books be avoided, rather using fine brown Paper to pre­vent [Page 9]blotting, if time of the Inks drying cannot be allowed; for Sand takes away the good colour of the Ink, and getting into the Backs of Books makes them break their Binding.

Let words be written Clerk-like at length, as clausum fregit, Armis, and not un-Clerk-like, abbre­viated words, as clm. fr. ar. &c. though it be in Draughts for private use, much less in Records. And as good Paper, so the best Ink is to be used, and choice of Pen-knives to be had for several occasi­ons.

Directions for a Clerks Pro­ceedings.

WHen my propounded-Clerk hath served his agreed time with his Master, and hath a resolution of following Clerkship chiefly in the fu­ture course of his Life, I advise him to procure himself to be admitted of an Inn of Chancery, and get him a convenient whole Chamber if he may, and if he cannot at first get one, let him aim to get one as soon as he can, and in the mean time get a part of a Chamber as good as he may. For he be­ing to make it (at least for a while) his constant dwelling and abode, it is fit for him to have what convenient Room he may, whereas a moiety of a Chamber may well serve a Country-Attorny, who stays but a short time in London at the Terms, and hath but small store of necessaries useful for his stay there.

I advise a Clerk especially to get himself a large Study, which I would have him to furnish with [Page 10]Shelves and Boxes fitting for his use, and two Desks, at one whereof he may sit to write, and at the other stand, and read or write, if he please. Vari­ety of Motion pleaseth and easeth the Body and Mind, and Standing is accounted more healthful for a Student, the rule being studeto stans. And I con­ceive that sitting doth more breed Diseases, especi­ally the Stone. And 'tis advised by Physicians in way of Health, that a Man walk an hour in a day, if he have time. And to forbear drinking (at least much) in a Morning, I conceive to be healthful for most Students.

I advise him to procure himself to be sworn an Attorny of the Court, & at first to entertain all law­ful and fitting businesses for his imployment as an Attorny or Clerk, and to deal as an Attorny for proper Clients and Attornies of the Kings-Bench, and rather then want imployment to take some Journy-work, the worser sort of imployment he may leave off when he pleaseth; but at no hand to deal as Attorny at the Reteyner of any common So­licitor, who is looked at by the Law with an ill Eye; he cannot lawfully give you warrant to appear plead or Act any thing, which an Attorny of the Kings-Bench may do. Use no Attornies Name in pra­ctice, nor suffer any one to use yours. And I wish you to aym at a Philizers Office, if you may get one; it may be a good means for the better imployment of your self and Clerks in the way of Clerkship, and gain you Entries and other business from Country-Attornies.

And although the Collection of Presidents be chiefly to be aimed at by a Clerk, which will give him a great insight into the Law, and furnish him [Page 11]with forms of deriving of Estates pleaded and other [...]ings; yet I advise him for his better understand­ing and progress, to addict himself to the study of [...]he Law; Wherein I cannot without much la­ [...]our direct him in such a method as my self do best like. I think few Lawyers agree in the course of their Studies. Some use no Books of Common-Places, but trust altogether to their memories, be­ing continually studying on their Books. But a Clerk being at several times, and for the greatest part of his time, imployed in the affairs of his Clerkship and Practice, ought not to trust so to his memory-Reading makes a full Man, Conference a ready Man, Writing an exact Man. I advise a Clerk there­fore to take Notes of his Reading of the Law un­der fit Heads and Titles. And to that end, pro­vide himself of several large Common-Place Books, ruled with Red Ink in the middle of each side only; for I would not have him straiten himself in room for his Notes.

And although the chief aim of his endeavours should be to make himself able in the course of his profession by way of Pleadings, yet I would have him not neglect the noting of matters of Title, Pro­perty, or any thing else, which he may suppose to be sometimes useful to him in the way of his Stu­dies. He may go in an Alphabetical way, if he please, for the Heads of his Common-Place-Books; for his direction wherein, he may peruse and take Titles out of the Abridgments of Fitzherbert Brook, Hughes or others, in which upon perusal he will find the Titles differing in Names, of which I must leave him to take the fittest in his own Judgment. But I rather approve and commend one Book for [Page 12]Actions at Common-Law with fitting subdivisi­ons (of which my Table of Presidents may give him a good light) or one Book for personal Actions, as Actions on the Case, Account, Debt, Replevin, Trespass, &c. Another for real Actions, as Cose­nage, Entry, Formedon, &c. in their several Heads, or the one Head of Praecipe quod reddat, na­ming the Action in the first part of his Notes taken thereupon, with all Pleadings and Subdivisions of them. And also of partition, Quare impedit, Waste and other Actions. Another Book for Actions on Statutes, Debt on Statutes, Informations, Indict­ments, Quo warranto, and other criminal businesses. Another for Titles to Lands & Properties of Goods; as Feoffments, Gifts, Leases, Assignments, Devi­ses, Sales, &c. And other Books for the several parts of the Law, as near as may be, placing Heads of the same nature in one Book by themselves.

For the Order of his Reading of the Law, I pro­pound him to read the Terms of the Law, Cowels Interpreter, Finches Law, Littleton, Perkins, Kit­chin Natura briu new and old, with the Register, Doctor and Student, Dyer, Plowdon, Cokes Institutes, his Crokes, and others Reports, the Year-Books, &c. v. Rolls Preface.

Advice to a Clerk in his Course.

I Wish my propounded Clerk to have a moderate mind, not so much addicted to his Study as to neglect his Health, or reasonable Exercise tending thereunto. Within doores he may have a Swing, Leaden Weights, and a low narrow joynt-Stool to [Page 13]be swinged about him, between his Legs, and over his Head, which I conceive to be healthful. Abroa dat a dancing School he may exercise dancing, especi­ally in the Winter time; but for Musick I do not ap­prove of it, taking up much precious time. Pro­pound to go to Bed at nine of the Clock, and rise early in the Morning. In the Summer-Vacation after business dispatched, I would advise him for his Health to go to some Medicinal Waters, of which our late Age hath found many. Londoners, and o­thers resort much to Epsham or Barnet-Waters, most purging by Stool, or Tunbridg-Water purging by Urin. Astropp Water in Northampton-shire fifty miles from London purgeth both by Stool and Urin, well approved of by my self. And in the Summer-Va­cation, he may also visit his Kindred, or take some delightful Journey with a Friend.

I could wish that a Clerk would propound to him­self to live unmarried in an Inne of Chancery, espe­cially where Commons are most kept, and to con­tinue in Commons, while any are kept, where he may have fit Diet, Company, and Accomodations, & not complain of Solitariness. For his Dyet in the Vacations after Commons ended, I commend unto him private Commons in the Hall, with some others of the House, if he may: If not, let him be con­tent with some small inconveniences. Let him pray for Charity and Chastity: for although Mariage be honourable, and sometimes comfortable; yet it is to most more troublesome and hindering of Studies, and to all more careful and chargeable than a single Life. But if a Clerks Mind or Constitution of Bo­dy incline him to Marriage, let him take his course therein, but forbear, if he may, until he be setled [Page 14]in Practice, and a fitting Estate, lest he repent his haste. And single or married, let him make his re­sidence in London, or the Suburbs, where Business is chiefly to be acted.

When a Clerk hath got a moderate Imployment, I wish him to take a Clerk, who may do much of his ordinary businesses, and write him some Presidents, while he addicts himself in his spare times to the perusing of President-Books, Printed or Manuscript, or the Study of the Law; and if he find any apt­ness in himself to be a Councellor at Law, let him transplant himself to an Inne of Court, where, un­till he be called to the Bar, he may exercise his Clerkship with his Study; but if he hath no such desire to alter his Condition, I advise him, assoon as he hath any reasonable Ability, to draw special Pleadings, to addict his time chiefly thereto, and to leave off all his Practice of an Attorny either for proper Clients or Attornies of the Kings-Bench, but not to leave his Clerkship for Attornies of the Com­mon-Pleas, which I wish him to continue, not so much for any benefit of himself, as for the Imploy­ment and Learning of his Clerks.

I have done with my thoughts of Advice for a Clerk of the Court of Common-Pleas in his Course. I come now to Directions for young Clerks there in doing their businesses.

Directions to a Clerk.

IT is to be known, that there is not a sufficient number of Latin-words to express English words, there having been inventions of many things (whereof not a few proper to this Nation) since the Latine-Tongue flourished in Italy. And every Art and Profession have many coyned words proper and peculiar thereunto. And so Lawyers have necessarily framed to themselves words of Law-Latin, for the more significant expression of things, as murdrum for murder, Maneriu a Manour, Acra an Acre; The defect of fitting words and sometimes false and insensible Latin, vitiate and lose a good Cause. I conceive it very fit and neces­sary, and I wish that these words of Law-Latin and other old Latin words were reduced into Wri­ting, and expounded under Heads for the young Students and Clerks better learning, use, and under­standing thereof. Many of them are so frequent in Law-businesses, that I have often taken them for true Latin words, but searching have not found them in Dictionaries. Most of such as have occurred unto me in my reading, I shall hereafter set down, as orderly as I may.

I advise that the words of Indentures and other Writings be rendered out of English into Latin, in the same order as they are in the same, not prepo­ning or postponing any words for any intended E­legancy of Latin: for although such displacing of words, not altering the sence, vitiate not the plead­ings, yet it hindreth the ready examination of the [Page 16]Latin with the English, and obscureth the true knowledge of the Deeds.

In pleading Deeds the present tense is usually to be changed into the Praeterperfect Tense, and the Praeterperfect Tense into the Praeterpluperfect Tense, as for example in Indentures; Hath demised grant­ed and to farm letten; dimisisset concessisset & ad fir­mam tradidisset. Doth demise, grant and to farm let, dimisit concessit & ad firmam tradidit. Is fuit, hath been fuisset. Yet witnesseth is rendered Testatum sit; or quae quidem Indentura testatur. And the Future Tense is turned into the Preterimperfect Tense, as, shall repair, repararent, shall pay, soluent.

In Indentures, Covenants are most frequently by words of, shall and will; as, shall and will repair; which may be rendered by deberent & vellent repa­rare, or by repararent only, without deberent & vel­lent, for it is the same in sence. Shall or may en­joy; valerent vel possent gaudere. Shall or lawfully may; valerent (or deberent) vel legitime possent. It shall and may be lawful; liceret & licitum foret, or liceret alone, or licitum foret only, being all of the same sence; but I advise to use both liceret and li­citum foret.

By these Presents or hereby; if in Indentures, are rendered by; ꝑ eandem Indenturam, or ꝑ pdcam Indenturam; If in Articles; ꝑ Articlos pdcos. If in Bills; ꝑ eandem billam: if in Bonds or other Writings, ꝑ scriptum pdcum. From the date here­of, a Dat Indenture pdce. Hereunto annexed; Indenture pdce annexat. And if an Indenture be recited in an Indenture pleaded, then for distin­ction afterwards is to be added, pdca recitat Inden­tura; to the recited Indenture. Indentura pdca hic in cur ꝙlat, to the Indenture pleaded.

Usually and most properly, idem in Declaracōns or Pleadings is attributed to Plaintiffs or Deman­dants, declaring or pleading; pdcus to Defendants or Tenants, Places, Towns or Lands. pfat. to per­sons named not being Actors. Yet if the same per­sons, Lands, &c. come very nearly again to be na­med or mentioned in pleadings, usually and most properly, idem, is used.

Where the Latin words are obscure or of double significations, it is fit to express them by an Angli­ce. Wares or the like of divers kinds by a Vocat. But to use Anglice Vocat both together, I con­ceive not to be necessary or Clerk like, although of­ten used by some Clerks of the Kings-Bench.

The quality of Wares should be expressed with as much certainty as conveniently may be, as for Woollen-Cloth, tot. virgat. pannis lanei voc. Ker­sey. For Linnen-Cloth, panni linei voc. Holland. For Hairy-Stuffs, panni crinosi. For Silken-Stuffs, panni bissini. But there being hundreds of Stuffs and other things proper to Trades, Husbandry, Houshold, Mills, Buildings, &c. and the same things being called by several names in several Countries, the Pleader not knowing of what na­ture or kind they be, is often inconvenienced in pleading them; and of which it is fit that he in­form himself what he may.

There are Books of Exposition of English words, but the same, as also Dictionaries, come far short of rendring a full account of them. Some of such as of later times have occurred to me in my imploy­ment, I shall hereafter herein express, and cause some small spaces to be left for further addition on any occasion.

For want of fit Latin-words, our Predecessors have used some somewhat gross Latin-words; as tot. virgat. Velvetti or de Velvet for Velvet. Curtina; a Curtin. And English words only with de le, les, or lez, before them, of which I will hereafter give you divers examples.

And sometimes our predecessors have used many improper Law Latin words, whereas there were pro­per Latin-words, more fitly, (I conceive) to be used as Muttonu for Weathers. 2. Co. 39. But I wish that significant Latin Words be used, where they may be found.

In some small things sometimes is some small va­riation between the English and rendring it into La­tin in sound, not in substance, as, from time to time and at all times; de tempore in tempus & ad ōia tempora.

More or less, or be it more or less; sive plus sive minus.

At the most, at the least; Ad majus, ad minus.

In any wise notwithstanding; in aliquo non ob­stan.

Of more especial Grace; de ampliori grā.

At his own proper costs; ad ejus ꝙpria custagia.

Or thereabouts; aut eo circit.

Said, is sometimes omitted and, quidem, used in­stead thereof in the beginning of a Sentence. As, qui quidem finis, for, which said Fine, que quidem In­dentura, quodquidem recordum, qui quidem locus.

Many times Synonyma's, English words of the same signification, do occur in Deeds, whereof al­though I conceive some may sometimes be omitted without prejudice, yet I advise to use other Latin [Page 19]words of the like significations, as near as may be, with an Anglice; of which sort are,

Most of which to be used with an Anglice.

Our Ancestors did use some change or additions of letters in their Latin words, as quoth for quod, which we have now left off, as also; hostia ꝙ ostia, habundans ꝙ abundans. But we often use nichil for nihil, set for sed. Yet I conceive it not un-Clerk-like to write at all times, nihil, fed. We con­stantly retain, imppiu for in ppetuu. dampnu for damnu, adding a p, as in all words proceeding from it, as indempnis, dampnificat. solempnis for solennis, solempnizacō, solempnit.

I will present you with some versions into Latin of words in Indentures and other writings with some observations thereupon.

The words following in Pleadings have most properly relation as followeth, videlt.

A. ab. A. used before a word beginning with a Consonant, as a dampno. Ab, before a word beginning with a Vowel, as ab injuria.

And, Et. ac. necnon, aceciam. These are obser­ved in this Order by Cursitors in their Writs, and may fitly be followed in other pleadings, not using the same word twice together. In way of con­nexion, ac, is usually put before, et, as, ac blada & herbam, in Writs.

Or. Aut, vel, five, seu Aut, I conceive fit to be used in the beginning of a sentence. vel; in con­nexion of words. five, seu, in further proceedings of a thing pleaded, seldom using the same word twice together.

And now having given some instructions to young Clerk, for rendring of Deeds, and some En­glish words into Latin, I proceed to give him an Alphabet of some English words used in the Law or otherwise, with the Latin words which are or may be used for the same. Many of which either English or Latin are not to be found in our Dictio­naries: And though found in Dictionaries, yet I have, as I conceive, used the most significant words. To some few of which I have added authorities.

Of Latin words.

HAving given you an Alphabet of some English words with appropriate Latin words for the same, I present unto you a larger Alphabet of Latin words used by our Ancestors in their Writings, and in our Law-Pleadings, whereof few or none are found in our Dictionaries; wherein it is not my intent to mention all the Latin words antiently used, nor of the many varieties of writing of the same, as excambiu, excambicō, escambiu, escambia, eschangiu, excam­bire, eschangiare, of Exchange; but those, most of which I conceive may fitly and properly be used by a Clerk, with an Anglice to those which are unusual; for most of which, especially the most unusual I have cited some of my authorities. Where there are proper and usual Latin words, I advise a Clerk to use them, and not to use old, improper, absurd or insignificant words. As for example.

Formality of Writing.

I Advise young Clerks to observe the formality of Wri­ting Latin-words; not to write that short which should be written at length, nor that at length, which should be written short. As, quam quod, for which or what, are no be written at length. Quod, for that, to be written short, qd. quam for, as, or then, to be written short, with a dash over, qm. so likewise dashes in the middle or ends of words to be ab­breviated wherein are any, b, h, or l, are strook through those letters. as Robtus, here.

If words have but five Minums at the end, write them at length, as, cum, dum, clausum, modum, nondum, though this is not observed in the Kings bench. If above five, turn up the last; as unu, me­diu, m [...]suagiu, Coragiu. So where words have a­bove five Minums in the middle, use a dash over instead of an m, as in immunis, write it īmunis. cōmodum.

Ʋse a round v, in the beginning of words, and al [...] before vowels in words, either in secretary or Court­hand for the readier distinguishing it from an n, as ꝑ­formavit, ꝑimplevit, [...]bavit, u [...]uavit. not ꝑfor­mauit, ꝑimpleuit, ubauit, Uuluerauit.

Where words are in both the singular and plural, umber, write the same at length, as Justice, and Ju­stices. Justiciarius & Justiciarii-Assignee, & Assign [...]s, Assign [...]tus & Assignati.

Write, Existens, and the like in the nominative case at length, and not, existen. tenen for tenens.

In pleading of ꝙces of the Common Pleas, in the same Court, we use hic; if in another Court, or of a­nother Court; ibm.

Where is isto eodem tmino; we plead it, illo co­dem tmino.

In pleading of writs, we add immediately after the [...]etorn, tunc ꝙx sequen. as a die Pasche in unu mensem tunc ꝙx sequen, though ꝙx sequen be not in the Writ.

It is fit for a Clerk to take notice of difficult things [...]o be rendered in fit and significant Latin, as firmu fa­ [...]ere; to make good.

• [...]iduciam su [...]m dare. to give his word. 1 Fo. 34.
• [...]irige bria. to award Writs. Bri. 17.
• [...]re sub testimonio Capitlis Iustic. Reg indic 32.
• On the part and behalf. ex parte & vice.
• Will and pleasure, voluntas & bene plitm.
• Going forth and issuing. Emanan, egredien. exeun ꝙceden.
• [...]t is to be noted, that we use many words promiscuous­ly, active and passive. As Habend. to have, and to be had.
• [...]aciend, for fiend, as, foret faciend. restat faciend.
• Conficiend. to be made.
• [...]end. to use and to be used.
• [...]equend, fore ꝙsecut.
• [...]enend, to hold, to be held.
• [...]xequend, for fore execut.
• [...]formand & ꝑimplend. to be perfermed and fulfilled.
• [...]olvend, for fore solut.

I advise a Clerk to write in all his business words Clerk like, and not unfittingly, abbreviated, as for ex­ample.

There are no Dipthongs used in Law-Pleadings, and therefore I use none in this Book.

And it is to be known, that Printers have for many years past left off in printing, letters unnecessary for the sounds of words, as e, in term, terms. The word (La­tine (is often written and printed) Latin without an e, as in the Title and Preface to the last edition of Gold­mans Dictionary.

Of the variety of Latin words.

IT much concerneth a Clerk to use apt significant and certain Latin words in all Pleadings, and particu­larly and especially in actions of Trover and Trespass.

There are four sort of Latin words. 1. Good La­tin allowed by Grammarians. 2. Words significant, and known by the sages of the Law. 3. False or ill Latin, or no Latin words, and yet having the counte­nance of Latin. 4. Words insensible, and of no signi­fication, and which have no countenance of Latin. Of which see, 10 Co. 133 Osbornes Case.

Where are not elegant and proper Latin words to express things, we must use barbarous words, if they be known. And where are no such, we may coin La­tin words, adding an Anglice. Sti. 313. 328.

Where a Latin word signifies many things, there an Anglice is properly to be added, otherwise not. Sti. 313.

Where an Anglice ascertains things. Sti. 80.136.327.

Vocat. is as much as to say, Anglice. 2 Cro. 129.

Where are proper Latin words to deseribe a thing, im­proper Latin words with an Anglice are not to be used, as Instrumentum ferri Anglice an Horselock. Instru­mentum ferri Anglice a Gridiron. Sile Morter, Exand­irons, &c. Sti. 194.313.

It is sufficient to describe things by words that a Jury may know what is meant by them, if there be no pro­per words to express them. Sti. 136.

De quin (que) peciis stanni Anglice Pewter dishes. Stanni is good of it self, and the Anglice is void. Sti. 102. De sex parcellis plumbi cinerii. Anglice Pew­ter dishes. Sti. 199.

If a word in a Declaration of Trover signifies no­thing, then the Jury is supposed to have given no dama­ges for it. Sti. 194.

Unu lenat, Anglice a Mat, being no word. uru ad­ustum ferreum (2 adjectives) signify nothing. Sti 95.

Trespas, quare cepit 10 velamina Anglice C [...]ifs, pilum (ꝙ pileum) Anglice a Cap. 14 colores Anglice Neckbands, cruralia Anglice Garters; instrumentum vocat. a Plate for a Jack. Opimentum Anglice a Rail. Adjudged sufficient. for we must not be too cu­rious to express things in Latin in all cases, for it can­not be done. And therefore a description with an An­glice must serve. Sti. 125.

Trespas, quare cepit palos, ralos, &c. being no La­tin words, without an Anglice, good after Verdict. Hob. 191.

English among French words.
It is absolutely necessary for every Attorny and Clerk to understand, and in a reasonable manner to write things in Law-French, which is very easie to learn, by comparing the French and English together, in the Terms of the Law, Littleton, and other such Books, without learning of true French yet some learning of true French will be fitting to know the difference between it and Law-French. Law-French was held good French in William the Conqueror's time. Amongst the Law-French are many times u­sed English and Latin words more significant, or where the French is hard, and cannot be so well understood, or comes not readily to Mind or hand. As for Example.

Of the Retorns and Testes of Terms.

Retorns written at large.

• A die Pasche in xv dies.
• A die Pasche in tres septimanas.
• A die Pasche in unu mensem.
• A die Pasche in quin (que) septimanas.
• In Crastino Ascencōnis Dni.
• In Crastino Scē Trinitatis.
• In Octabis Scē Trinitatis.
• A die Scē Trinitatis in xv dies.
• A die Scē Trinitatis in tres septimanas.
• A die Sci Michis in tres septimanas.
• A die Sci Michis in unu mensem.
• In Crastino Aiā (rum).
• In Crastino Sci Martini.
• In Octabis Sci Martini.
• A die Sci Martini in xv dies.
• In Octabis Sci Hillarii.
• A die Sci Hillarii in xv dies.
• In Crastino Purificacōnis be Marie.
• In Octabis Purificacōnis be Marie.

In each Retorn are usually four special days, 1. Of Essoines. 2 Of Exceptions. 3. Of Retorna brevium. 4. Of Apparance, which is the last day of the Retorn.

USually the day of Apparance of each Retorne in the time of Terms is seven days distant from o­ther. But in Easter Term between quin (que) Pasche and Crastino Ascencōnis, are but five days, to wit from Wednesday on the Eve of the Ascencon, which is the day of Apparance of quin (que) Pasche, untill Munday after Crastino Ascencōnis, which is the last day of the Term. So likewise between Crastino Trinitatis be­ing Fryday, and Octabis Trinitatis being Wednesday. And between Crastino Anima (rum), being the sixt day of November and day of Apparance of that Retorn, and Crastino Martini are nine days, the day f Apparance of the said Crastino Martini being the fifteenth day of November; or the day after, if that fifteenth day fail upon a Sunday.

Between Crastino Martini and Octabis Martini. Crastino Pur and Octabis Pur. are six days.

Where the Essoin day falls on a Munday (as it doth on Quindena Pasche, Tres Pasche, Mense Pasche, Quin (que) Pasche, Octabis Trinitatis, quindena Trini­tatis, & Tres Trinitatis) the day of Exception, and the day of Retorna breviu are both the same day, to wit the Tuesday.

And so likewise where any day of Apparance in Mi­chaelmas or Hillary Terms falls to be on a Wednesday.

Or where the Essoine day or day of Apparance in those Terms are put of for a day longer by any Sun­day or by All Souls day, or Candlemas day, having been heretofore great holy days.

The Essoine day of Crastino Trinitatis is the Munday next after Trinity Sunday, the day of Excep­tion is on the Tuesday, the day of Retorna breviu is on the Wednesday and the day of Apparance on the Fryday being the first day of Trinity Term; the Thurs­day being pretermitted, being Corpus Christi day, heretofore a great Holy day.

The puisne Justice of the Court of Common Pleas keeps the Essiones at Westm on the Essoine day of Tres Michis, the next puisne Justice at Octabis Hil­larii, the next Senior Justice, at Quindena Pasche, and the Lord Chief-Justice at Crastino Trinitatis.

And note. That Hillary Term begins on the same day of the week, on which Michaelmas Term before ends, and ends on the same day of the week, on which Michaelmas Term began.

And the first day of Trinity Term is on the same day of the Month on which Easter day falls, one Month being interposed.

The Essoine day of every Term is said to be (in) the Retorn, and every day after said to be (post) the Re­torn, as die lune in Mense Pasche, die Martis ꝙx post mensem Pasche, in Rules or Writs.

All original Writs in Actions are retornable on a Retorn, as in Octabi, S [...] Hillarii, A die pasche in [Page 126]xv. dies, &c. And so all Proces and proceedings thereupon. All Writs and Actions not by Originals out of the Chancery, and proceedings thereupon, as Attachments of Priviledge, Bills against priviledged persons, Prohibitions, and the like are retornable and have continuance to days certain, as, die lune in Mense pasche, die Martis ꝙx post mensem pas­che.
