- Nature of request
- The commons are requested to consider the great mischief had and still not remedied in the realm to the great damage, loss and disinheritance because of the usual perjury of jurors empanelled in inquests both in the king's courts and those of other lords. Many plaintiffs lose their case because of the delays in writs of attainder of juries and of grand juries by feeble and false pleas brought by the defendant, tenants and jurors. They request to the king and the lords spiritual and temporal in parliament to ordain that each manner of issue which in times to come in writs of attainder of jurors triable by those of the pays, be triable by the grand jury of the same attainder and not in another way. And if such issues be tried by matters of record, then the party that pleads such record should put it immediately before the court without delaying the taking of the attainder if they wish to use it to their advantage so that the grand jury in such cases should not be in any way delayed. And that the plaintiffs in such attainders recover their damages and costs against all tenants, jurors and defendants; and this statute be extended to writs of attainder now pending.
