ABSTRACT
In France, the King's Writ goeth to the Bailiffs, Seneschals or Stewards of Liberties, who issue out warrants to all such as have fees and lands within their liberties, and to all towns, requiring all such as have any complaints, to meet in the principal city, there to choose two or three delegates. In Ireland, the Parliament, as appears by a statute made in the tenth year of Henry VIII, c. 4, is to be after this manner: No Parliament is to be holden but at such season as the King's Lieutenant and council there, do first certify the King, under the Great Seal of that land, the causes and considerations, and all such acts as they think fit should pass in the said Parliament. In Scotland, about twenty days before the Parliament begins, proclamation is made throughout the kingdom, to deliver in to the King's Clerk, or Master of the Rolls.
