A.D. 1340. The charter purports by reason of war in his "realm "; and now it is of record in this Court that there has not been war in this realm, but that the King has always guided and governed his people by the law of this land, and thus the realm has been at peace and not at war; judgment whether to this plea you shall be admitted.-Wherefore it was adjudged that the Countess should recover &c., and her damages according to taxation.-Quare as to the damages; for it is not usual for damages to be recovered in such a case in that Court.-And note that in Easter term in the 15th year the Abbot sued in the same place before the King's Council to reverse the judgment; and there the judgment was affirmed by award. Note. Margaret, Countess of Kent, sued, for herself and for the King, a Garnishment in the Exchequer against the Abbot of ' Ramsey, in respect of 50l. per annum, whereof she was endowed by the endowment of the Earl of Kent and by the assignment of the King, and which 50l. were issuing out of the farm of the fair of St. Ives.-Pole took exception to the jurisdiction of the Court for that this was a freehold whereof it could not have cognisance. -And because the 50l. were not issuing from any freehold in certain, but from a farm, so that assise could not be had in respect of them, and because also they were to be recovered as in right of the King, he was put to answer.-And he took exception to the writ for that it wanted certainty, for the party could not be informed by it to what he had to answer.--And this exception was not allowed.-And then Pole said :-As to the first term, nothing in arrear; ready, &c. Parning. These 50l. are not issuing from any freehold in certain so that the country can have knowledge in respect of this issue; wherefore it is not admissible. And thereupon they abode judgment.-And afterwards Pole produced an acquittance in respect of that term, and said that he should be admitted to do so, because he was not informed by the writ to what he had to answer, and so could not have had his acquittances ready, &c. - And for that reason he was admitted. Parning acknowledged acquittance.-Quaere, for a party is not apprised by a writ of the 1 These words do not appear in the passage on the roll cited note (7) p. 127.

Debt whether a debt is to be demanded against him upon a deed or without a deed, and yet he shall give but one answer to the action.-Pole produced an acquittance in respect of another term, which was acknowledged also.--And with respect to the rest he said that the King's progenitors had granted to the Abbot's predecessor the farm of the fair of St. Ives, at a rent of 501. for the time during which the merchants should stay there, and that these are the 50l. which the plaintiff demands, and he said also that [the King's ancestor] granted by his charter that if the merchants were disturbed by war in his realm so that they should not come or stay there, the payment of the 507. should cease for that time, and the King's father confirmed this charter to this Abbot. And (said Pole) we tell you that they have been disturbed by war between the King and the French; judgment, &c.— Parning. You shall not be received to say that, for it is of record in this Court that in this realm there is no war, but that the King's people are governed according to the law of the land; and the charter shall discharge you only by reason of war in his own realm; wherefore we demand judgment.-And afterwards CoSSAL, with the assent of the JUSTICES,' rehearsed the process, and adjudged, for the reason above, that the Countess should recover, &c., and her damages taxed, &c.-But Quære with regard to the damages, for in such a case it has never been seen that damages were awarded.
