| | The king's attorney-general is made privy to all manner of pleas that are not ordinary, and of course, which rise upon the process of the court: and he puts into court, in his own name information of seizures. | | | It has now the power of judging both according to law and equity; and this notice is therefore placed before those of the law courts. | | | Besides these there is a fifth called Cursitor Baron, who has not a judicial capacity, but is only employed in administering the oath to the sheriffs and other officers, and also to several of the officers of the custom house; the office however is little better than a sinecure. |
