MEere commissions are these that follow: Being all of them to bee * 1.1 directed to choice persons, such as it shall please the King.

Oyer and terminer to heare determine vpon some heynous trespasse committed, as rebellious assemblies, insur∣rections, * 1.2 and such like. And these are called

Statutes.

2. E. 3 cap. 3. It shall be granted onely to Iustices of the one Bench or other, or to Iu∣stices errants.

In these and such like commissions lye properly a writ of Association, and Si non omnes.

Association is a writ for other to be as∣sociate into their company, as fellow Iusti∣ces together with them, and may bee dire∣cted to the Iustices themselues to admit them, or to the parties that shall be so asso∣ciate * 1.3 to signifie their association. That (a) 1.4 to the partie is patent. The (b) 1.5 other to the Iustices to admit him is alwayes close.

Si non omnes is a writ for the rest to pro∣ceed, although the other come not. To bee directed as well to the partie to be associate as to the other Iustices. Patent (c) 1.6 to the partie, close (d) 1.7 to the Iustices.

Ad quod damnum to enquire what hurt it may be to the King, or countrey, or any o∣ther for the King to grant such or such a thing, as a licence to alien in mortmaine, or to alien lands holden of the King in chiefe: or to grant liberties to any Citie or such like.

Perambulacione facienda to enquire of the * 1.8 bounds of two Seigniories or Townes, where an encrochment by little and little is supposed to haue beene made. And this

must bee by the mutuall assent of both the Lords. But if such encrochment were at once, whether now or heretofore an assise of nouell disseisin lyeth, and not this writ.
