Also these Processes shall be always directed to
the Sheriff, (who is the
immediate Minister and Officer of the King to execute all Process)
except the Sheriff himself or his Officers be parties: but if the
Justice
of peace be to grant out Process against the Sheriff, Under-sheriff, or
their
Officers, offending contrary to the Statute 8 H. 6. c. 9.
or 11 H. 7. c. 15.
which you may see here before; of seemeth such Process shall be directed
to the Coroners of the County, and shall be served by them. And so
are divers Books, as 2 H. 6. 12. 8 H. 6. 30.
9 H. 6. 11. & 18 Ed. 4. 7. and
others. ' And so also the Oath of the Justices of peace seemeth to
bind
' them. |

Note also, that this Process ought always to be
made in the Name of
the King: and for that the King is party, it must be with a Non
omittas
propter aliquam libertatem, &c. But the Teste thereof
may be under the
Name of the Justice of peace. |

If the Offender be within any Liberty or Franchise,
the Sheriff is to
enter the Franchise, and to execute the Process himself, (and not to
write to the Bailiff of the Franchise, because the King is a party.)

The Forms of these Processes to be made by the Justice
of peace out of
the Sessions seem to be as followeth.
