The Style. |
§. 2.
Direction. |
Note, That wheresoever the Warrant is made in the
Kings name, (as
before) there it seemeth the Warrant ought to be directed to all Ministers
as well within Liberties as without, for that the King is made a
party: and so it may be done in all other Warrants, (especially for
Felony,
or for the Peace, or the Good Behaviour, &c.) because it is the
service of the King; and no Liberty or Franchise shall be allowed, or hold
place against the King, Br. Franch. 31. Yet see before, that
the Justices of
peace of the County may not intermeddle in any City, Town or Liberty,
which have their proper Justices. Hic cap. 6.
