Sir Will. Skipwith, Junior a Puisne Judge, would not comply for the im∣portunity of R. 2. nor the Example of his Fellow Judges (An. 10 Regn.) to allow, That the King by his own Power might rescind an Act of Parliament. May I move that every 4th. Link of the Collar of S S S Esses, (from St. Sim. Simplicius an uncorrupted Judge in the primitive times) may mind the Judges of this Skipwith. His Name hath flourished at Ormesby, ever since his time, in a very worshipful Condition.
Sir Will. Husee, Knight of a worship∣ful Family in this County, was made Lord Chief Justice of the K. Bench An. 21. E. 4. Afterwards, upon a Question of great importance, he, with all the rest of the Judges, u∣nanimously resolved, That the Knights and Burgesses (formerly of the K. party) attainted by due Course of Law, should forbear to come into the House, till a Law were passed for the Reversal of their Attain∣ders, but (as to K. Hen. 7. who had been also At∣tainted) That the Crown takes away all defects, and Stops in Blood, and that by the Assumption thereof, the Fountain was cleared from all Attainders and Cor∣ruptions. He died An. 10. H. 7.
Sir Edm. Anderson Knight, a younger Brother of a Gentile Extract at Flixborough was made Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, An. 24. Eliz. He cen∣sured Secr. Davison (about the business of Q. of Scots) for indiscretion; telling him, that he had done Justum non justé. He checked Sir Edw. Coke, the Q. Solicitor, and H. Cuff (who was arraigned about the rising of the E. of Essex) for their Foolish Syllogismes used in Court. He was a great Promo∣ter of the Established Church Discipline, and severe against Brownists. He died An. 3. Jac.
