GUSTOS bremtm, the principal clerk 
belonging to the court of common pleas, 
whose business is to receive and keep all 
the writs made returnable in that court, 
filing every return by itself; and, at tlie 
end of eadi term, to receive of the protho- 
notaries all the records of the nisi prius, 
called the posteas. The posteas are first 
brought in by the clerks of assize of every 
circuit to that prothonotary who entered 
the issue in the causes, in order to enter 
judgment ; and after the prothonotary has 
entered the verdict and judgment there- 
upon into the rolls of the court, he delivers 
them over to the custos brevium, who binds 
them into a bundle. The custos brevium 
makes likewise entries of writs of covenant, 
and the concord upon every fine ; by him 
also are made out exemplifications and co- 
pies of all writs and records in his office, 
and of all fines levied, which being en- 
grossed, are divided between him and the 
chirographer, which last keeps the writ of 
covenant and the npte ; and the former tlie 
•concord and foot of the fine. The custos 
brevium is made by the king’s letters pa- 
tent. 
Cdstos rotulorum, an officer who has the 
custody of the rolls and records of the ses- 
sions of peace, and also of the commission 
of the peace itself. He usually is some per- 
son of quality, and always a justice of the 
peace, of the quorum, in the county where 
he is appointed. This officer is made by 
writing under the king’s sign manual, being 
the Lord Chancellor’s warrant to put him in 
commission. He may execute his office by 
a deputy, and is empowered to appoint the 
clerk of the peace, but he may not sell the 
place on divers penalties.
