LETTER FROM CHARLES I. TO CHIEF JUSTICE 

 HEATH. 



Having already communicated to the readers of 

 " N. & Q." an extract or two from the papers of 

 Sir Robert Heath, the last Chief Justice of Eng- 

 land during the reign of Charles I., perhaps the 

 following original paper from the same repository 

 may not be out of place, more particularly as I 

 can find no notice on the subject of the circuits 

 of the judges in the pages of Clarendon, or in any 

 other work which I have consulted on the period 

 of the Great Rebellion. Ev. Ph. Shielet.

" Charles R. 



"Trusty and welbeloved, wee greet you well. Out 

 of our desire that justice should be duely administred in 

 all the parts of this o'' kingdome to all c loving subjects, 

 according to our knownelawes, and according to theauu- 

 cient coarse w"^ hath been held for our judges to ryde 

 their circuits twice in the yeare, wee gaue speciall direc- 

 tions that you should hold yo' summer assizes in theseue- 

 rall counties to 'W^ you are assigned, and wee were then 

 hopefull that the distraccons of the tymes would not 

 haue been any impediment unto you to performe that 

 service. 



" But seeing wee are now informed that this cannot be 

 done in many and in most places of this realme without 

 much inconuenience to yo'selves and those who should at- 

 tend j'ou, or haue busines before you, wee are well pleased 

 to referre it wholly to yo^ good discrecons to forbeare 

 those places whither yo''selues conceaue you may not goe 

 with conuenient safety, and our subjects who shall want 

 the benefitt of yo"" labors must excuse both us and j'ou, 

 and expect and pray for better tymes. Given under o'' 

 signet at o'' C"^ at Oxford, the fourth day of July in the 

 nineteenth yeare of o"" raigne. [1643.] 

 "To our trusty and welbeloved S"^ Robert Heath, K*, 

 Cheife Justice of our Bench, and Justice of Assize for o' 

 Counties of Berks, Oxoh., Gloucester, Monmouth, Here- 

 ford, Wygorn, Salop, and Stafford."
