The chirographer, the official responsible for making the feet of the fines for filing by the court, or his deputy, made the proclamation in court on the specified days and then noted the fact on the back of each foot of fine, held in the office of the custos brevium, who kept the files. The procedure was first prescribed by statute in 1299. From 1588 (31 Eliz I c 2) it was ordered that there was to be only one such day each term, and that each fine was to be read out in four successive terms.
