ABSTRACT
The court, continuing in the principles which inspired its resolutions of 3 and 5 May last [. . .] orders that the said declaration be registered on the rolls of the court to be implemented according to its form and tenor but with the following provisos: that it cannot be argued from the preamble or any of the articles of the said declaration that the court needed to be restored in order to resume functions which violence alone had suspended; the court cannot be prevented, by the silence imposed on the king’s procureur-général in matters relating to the execution of the Ordonnances, Edicts and Declarations of 8 May last, from taking cognizance of offences with which the court would have been obliged to deal; that it cannot be argued from articles 4 and 5 that the judgements mentioned there are not subject to appeal or that any of those who have not been examined and sworn in by the court, should be allowed to exercise the functions of judge in the lower tribunals. Finally the said court, in conformity with its resolution of 3 May last, maintains its insistence that the Estates General designated for next January be regularly convoked and composed, and that according to the forms observed in 1614.
