"Resolved, &c. That this new Writ with Ac etiam, is an Innovation, which, with the Proceedings thereupon, are contrary to the Act made 13° Car'l. Secundi Cap. 2.

"That the said Act of 13° Car'l. Secundi is eluded thereby, and the King is prejudiced in His ancient Right of Fines upon Original Writs.

"That such Proceedings of the Judges are an assuming to themselves in some Measure a Legislative Power.

"That all Proceedings in this Kind hereafter be forborne by the Judges of the respective Courts; and that the said Act of 13° Car'l. IIdi be strictly pursued in all Actions for the future.

"And as concerning the Second Clause in the Order referred to the Committee, that they should call to their Assistance the Barons of His Majesty's Court of Exchequer, and consider of some Course for settling all Matters in Difference touching the Proceedings in other Courts, and provide for the Ease and Benefit of the Subject, so that the Statute made in Anno 13° Car'l. Secundi be not eluded, and all Innovations not warranted by Act of Parliament may be truely stated, and such Remedies as shall be thought fit prepared: The Lords Committees conceive the present Practice in Trials upon Ejectione Firmæ is an Innovation, by the Pleasure of the Judges, without Act of Parliament; for Prevention of which for the future, their Lordships have a Bill (proposed by the Judges) for Recovery of Possessions; which may, if this House thinks fit, be taken into Consideration, and, with the Addition of a Preamble taking Notice of the said Innovation, and with such Additions and Amendments as shall be thought fit by their Lordships, be made a Law."
