A Proclamation for the Adjournment of part of Michaelmas term.  
HIs MAJESTY, to His great and unexpressible grief, finding the Rebellion of the City of London, and the distraction of the whole kingdom (occasioned principally by that means) to continue, whereby it will be extremely inconvenient both for himself and to all His good Subjects to make their repair to the Cities of London and Westminster to the term, to be held at Westminster in such manner as it was wont for the whole term, Doth by this His royal Proclamation Order, appoint and Declare, That the Court of Chancery, and all proceedings in that Court of what kinds or sorts soever, The Receipt of the Exchequer, and of the first Fruits and Tenths, and of the duchy of Cornwall, and the whole Court of Exchequer, (except only the Office of Pleas in that Court) and the Court of Exchequer Chamber, the Court of the Du●chy of Lancaster, the Court of Wards and Liveries, and the Court of White-Hall, or Court of Requests, shall be held and continued at His city of Oxford in the County of Oxford, (where His majesty's residence now is, and for this Winter season is like to be) for and during the whole term of St Michael now next ensuing. And that all the said Courts not before excepted, and the said Receipts, shall remain and continue, and be held at the said City of Oxford, until His Majesty shall otherwise determine thereof and Declare the same.  
And His Majesty doth farther Declare, That He doth resolve that the Courts of Kings-Bench, and Common-Pleas, and the Pleas between Party and Party in the Office of Pleas in the said Court of Exchequer, shall upon and from the first day of the first return of Michaelmas term next, commonly called Tres Michaelis, be adjourned until the fist return of that term commonly called Octabis Martini; and that the said fist return called Octabis Martini, and the sixth and last return called Quindena Martini shall be held at the City of Westminster in the usual places where formerly they were held, and the residue of the said first return of Tres Michaelis. The second return of the said term called Mense Michaelis, the third return of the said term, called Crastino Animarum, and the fourth return called Crastino Martini, shall be wholly omitted, and all appearances at any of the said second, third, and fourth returns to be at and on the said fist return called Octabis Martini.  
All which His Majesty signifieth to all and singular His Officers and Ministers of the said several Courts and Receipts, and to all other His loving Subjects of this His realm, to the intent that they and every of them who should perform any service there, or shall have any suit or other occasion to attend in any of the said Courts of Chancery, Exchequer Chamber, Court of Exchequer (other then in the Office of Pleas there) or the Receipt of the Exchequer, and First Fruits and Tenths, or duchy of Cornwall, or in the Court of the duchy of Lancaster, Court of Wards and Liveries, and Court of Requests, may take notice thereof, and give their attendances at the said City of Oxford as aforesaid, and not elsewhere, & that such of them as have cause or command to appear in any of the said Courts or Kings Bench, or Common-Pleas, or Court of Exchequer in the Office of Pleas there, may also take notice thereof, & give their attendances accordingly, without danger of for forfeitur, penalty, or contempt to be incurred towards His Majesty, or prejudice to themselves in that behalf.  
And His majesty's pleasure is, That the essoins for the said first return Tres Michaelis shall be kept at the usual times in the said Courts of King's Bench and Common-Pleas, and Writs of adjournment shall be directed to the justices of the said two Courts of King's Bench and Common-Pleas and Barons of the Exchequer respectively, Willing and Commanding all and every His majesty's Officers, Ministers, and Subjects to whom it doth or shall appertain, to observe and keep their Assemblies and Appearances, with all their returns and Certificates, in His majesty's said Courts accordingly, and to give their several and respective attendances, and to do their respective Offices and Duties in every behalf, as if they were particularly named, and as they will answer the contrary at their perils.  
Given at His majesty's Court at Oxford, this fifth day of October, in the Nineteenth year of His majesty's reign. 
 God save the King.
