Concerning Subpoena's Ad audiendum Judicium.

Ordo Curiae.

WHEREAS the Right Ho∣nourable the Lord Keeper be∣ing informed of sundry Abuses,* 1.1 in the untimely and disorderly setting down of the Causes of Hearing in this

Court, and the obtaining of Subpoena's Ad audiendum Judicium thereupon, whereby ancient Causes were stopt back from hearing, and other Causes thrust in, to the prejudice of the other Clyents, and scandal to the Court, the six Clerk towards the said Causes never being made acquainted therewith: For refor∣mation whereof, the then Lord Keeper did Order and Require, That hereafter it should be carefully observed, that no Subpoena should be made Ad audiendum Judicium for any Cause of hearing what∣soever, before the Clerk that makes the same Writ have a Note under the Hand of the six Clerk that is Attorny, and un∣der the Hand of the Register; and in their absence under the Hand of their sufficient known Deputies, to warrant the same;* 1.2 And if any such Clerk should after pre∣sume to offend therein, then the said Clerk was to stand committed for his wilful contempt. Forasmuch as the Right Honourable the Lord Keeper was this day informed by the said six Clerk, that of late the said Order had been neg∣lected in divers Subpoenas Ad audiendum judicium which had been made without any such notice from them or their Depu∣ties, in contempt of the said Order. It is therefore now ordered by his Lordship, That the Clerk of the Subpoena Office,* 1.3 ha∣ving

notice hereof, shall hereafter observe and perform the said former Order, his Lordship minding to have the same put in Execution in all points.
