325
Loss of our said Lord the King
and of his Subjects, in delay
of the same Pleas and Suits,
and of the Deliverance of his
said Subjects: (2) And upon
that our Lord the King willing
to provide Remedy, of the As-
sent and Authority aforesaid,
hath ordained and established,
that in all such Pleas, Suits,
and Processes, in them to be
taken and to be made before
Justices* of the Peace in
any County of England, the
said Pleas and Processes in
such Suits to be done shall not
be discontinued by such new
Commissions of the Peace to
be made, but those Pleas and
Processes shall stand in their
Force. (3) And the Justices
in the same new Commissions
so assigned, after that they shall
have the Records of the same
Pleas and Processes before
them, shall have Power and
Authority to continue the said
Pleas and Processes; and the
same Pleas and Processes, and
all that depend upon them, to
hear and finally to determine,
as the other Justices might and
ought to have done of and in
the same, if no new Commis-
sion had been made.
