CHAP. 22.
Of Bils.
A Bill is in pleas of the Crowne.As an appeale of felonie, mayme, tape, &c. may be by Bill before anyone Coroner of the Shire, as well as by writ originall, finding first sureties to the Sherife.
One whose attendance is necessarie inany Court, as the officers and Atturnies there, shall sue and bee sued in forme of plaint, without writ originall, which is cal∣led a Bill priuiledge. But albeit the Cooke or Butler of a Iudge, or other officer of a Court shall haue their priuiledge if they be suedels where, yet a Bill lyeth not against them: But against the officers and Attur∣nies it doth, for they are members of the Court, and their attendance necessarie. And they shall be foreiudged of their office, if being demanded to doe them they make default. But an Atturny in the Kings shall not be sued by Bill, for no Atturny is there of record, nor his presence necessary. Other∣wise it is in the Common place.
