UTLARY.
Utlary, The Bishops of Durham have had their Royalties and Princely rights, so that the goods of outlawed and attainted persons out of* 1.1 the Kings Protection, fall into their hands, and not into the Kings.
Utlagatus, est quasi extra legem positus, and Bracton saith, that caput gerit lupinum,* 1.2 because he might be pu•• to death by any man, as a Wol•• that harefull beast might be. But in the be∣ginning of the reign of King Edward the third, it was resolved by the Judges, for the avoiding of inhumanity, and of effusion of Christian blood, that it should not be lawfull for any man, but the Sheriff only (having a lawfull War∣rant* 1.3 therefore) to put to death any man out∣lawed though it were for felony, and if he did, he should undergo such punishments, and pains of death, as if he had killed any other man, and so from thenceforth the Law continued untill this day.
