¶ A Proclamation to adjourn part of midsummer term.  
THE queen our sovereign lady for diuers urgent causes and great considerations, her majesty specially moving, and for the high commodity of her most loving subiects, by the aduise of her most Honourable council, is fully resolved and determined to adjourn part of this next term of the holy Trinity, commonly called Trinity term: that is to say, the utas of the holy Trinity, the Quindecim of the holy Trinity, and trees Semaynes of the holy Trinity, unto the utas of S. Michael next coming, being the first day of Michaelmas term: And therefore her majesty doth signify unto all and singular her loving subiects, that they and every of them, which haue cause or commandement to appear in any of her Highnesse Courts at Westminster, at the utas, Quindecim, and trees Semaines of the holy Trinity, or at any of them, or at any day mean between any of the said three returns, may tarry at their dwellings, or where their business otherwise shall lye, without resorting to any of the said Courts for that cause. And that without danger of forfeiture, penalty, or contempt to incur towards her Highnesse in that behalf. And nevertheless, her majesties pleasure is, that two of her Iustices, that is to say, of either Bench one, shall the first day of this next Trinity term, called Crastino Trinitatis, according to the ancient order of her laws, keep the essoins of the said Crastino Trinitatis, and so to keep & continue the said Courts in her said two Benches at Westminster, until the first day of the utas of the holy trinity next, to the intent that they may make an order for the continuance of process depending in the said Courts; And also award Writs and Records of Nisi Prius, and such other process as may be for the furtherance of Causes and suits depending before them: At which utas of the holy trinity Writs of adjournment shall be directed to the said Iustices, giuing them authority to adjourn the said utas, Quindecim, and trees Semaynes of the said trinity term. And that the same adiourenment shall be made in the first day of the said utas, commonly called the day of the essoins. And whereas in the term of the holy trinity, yearly it hath been used and accustomend, that the dayes and places of the Circuits of the queens Iustices of the Gaole deliveries, assizes, Nisi Prius, and Oyer and Determiner, haue been appointed and set up in open places, to the intent that every person having cause of suite before them, might haue knowledge of the said times and places, for the better and readier expedition of their said suits; Her majesties pleasure is that the same order of appointment both for the times, dayes, and places of the said Gaole deliveries, assizes, Nisi Prius, and Oyer and Determiner, now for this time be appointed and set up, and notice made thereof this present term of Easter, for the better knowledge thereof to be had for them that shall haue to do before them. And her majesties further pleasure is, that all matters, causes, and suits depending in any of her other Courts, between party and party, as in her Highnes Courts of chancery, star Chamber, and Exchequer, and Court of Wards and liveries shall haue continuance, and the parties shall haue day from the last day of this term, unto the first day of michaelmas term next coming. provided always, that all Collectors, Receauours, Sheriffes and other accountants, and all other persons that ought, or should account or pay any money in any of the same Courts of the Exchequer, Court of Wards and liveries, or in any of them, or to enter into any account in any of the same Courts, shall be bound to appear, pay, and do in every behalf, as though no such Proclamation of adiornement had been had, Any thing mentioned in this present Proclamation, or in any Writ of Adiornement to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding. And the queens majesty straightly chargeth and commandeth, that no clerk or Officer, of any of her said Courts of Kings Bench, or Common Place shall make any process for the personal appearance of any person in any of the same Courts, to be had in Crastino of the holy trinity next coming.
