This is also a court of equity, relating to
affairs transacted within the city and li-
berties; it giving relief when judgment

This court is, in several respects, the
best to commence a process in; since an
action, exclusive of stamps, may be enter-
ed for so small a sum as four pence; and
yet, though not proceeded upon, it never
dies, as those in other courts.  Besides, a suit
may be begun and ended here within the
space of fourteen days, for thirty shil-
lings.

The juries for trying causes in this and
the Sheriff's courts, are annually returned
at Christmas by the several courts of ward-
mote, when each ward appoints a suffici-
ent number of persons to serve on those
juries for every month of the year.

This court has an office peculiar to it-
self, consisting of four Attorneys, by whom
all actions cognizable therein are entered;
for the execution thereof there are six
Serjeants at mace.  Lex Lond.
