in Courts of our Lord the
King, be oftentimes suffered
to go at large by the Warden
of the Prison, sometime by
Mainprise or by Bail, and
sometimes without any Main-
prise with a Baston of the
Fleet, and to go from thence
into the Country about their
Merchandises and other their
Business, and be there long
out of Prison Nights and Days,
without their Assent at whose
Suit they be judged, and with-
out their (tree thereof made,
whereby a man cannot come
to his Right, and Recovery
against such Prisoners, to the
182* great mischief and un-
doing of many people: (2) It
is ordained and assented, that
from henceforth no Warden of
the Fleet shall suffer any
Prisoner there being by Judg-
ment at the Suit of the Party,
to go out of Prison by Main-
prise, Bail, nor by Baston,
without making gree to the
said Parties of that whereof
they were judged, unless it be
by Writ or other Command-
ment of the King, upon pain
to lose his Office, and the
keeping of the said Prison.
(.S) And moreover, if any such
Warden from henceforth be
attainted by due Process, that
he hath suffered or let such
Prisoner to go at large against
this Ordinance, then The Plain-
tiffs shall have their Recovery
