- Nature of endorsement
- It was ordered and agreed by the lords of Parliament that the plaintiffs should tax their damages at a certain amount, and this bill be delivered into Chancery, and the chancellor should have power to make writs of proclamation to be made in Northamptonshire at the next three county courts that the defendants should come before the chancellor on a certain day to answer on the trespasses contained in the bill.
