The form of a Certificate, (or Return into the Chancery
of this Writ)
see in the other Title, Forcible Entry. |
Chap. 45. |
§. 13.
Without
Writ. |
Also every Justice of Peace (ex officio,
and without any Writ) may do
execution of this Statute of Northampton, and that as well be force
of the
Commission as of the said Statute. |
2 E. 3. 3.
P. Armor 1. |
|
The manner to execute this Statute by the Justice
of Peace (ex officio)
seemeth to be all one as before, where he hath a Writ delivered him; saving
that when he doth this ex officio, and without Writ, he needeth
not
to make any Proclamation, nor to send any Certificate into the Chancery:
but the Justices may go to the place where the Force is, and (if it
be in an
house) he may enter and search, if any Force of Armour or Weapon, be
worn or born against this Statute; and if any such Offenders be found,
he
may commit them to prison, and may seize and prize the Armour and
Weapon so found with them. And he ought to record all that which
he shall
do in this behalf, and thereout to send some Estreat into the Exchequer,
that
the King may be answered of the Armour, or of the value thereof. |
Lam. 176. |
|
But here again the Justice must not make any Restitution
of the possession
to the party ousted, but most only remove the Force. |
|
|
And concerning the Offenders so found, and committed
by the said
Justice of Peace, it seemeth the Justice (at his discretion) may fine them,
and upon payment thereof, or upon Sureties found for the same, that the
said Justice may deliver the Offenders, even as in the former Statutes
of
15 R. 2. & 8 H. 6. Or else the said Justice may
record such Force, and
commit the Offenders, and after certifie the record into the Kings Bench,
or to the Justices of Gaol-delivery, or to the General Sessions of the
Peace,
as here in this Title a little before.
