The King's Solicitors having raised a summons of adjudication against Brody of Lethem for 60,000 merks of fine, for his Lady's conventicles, &c.; and it being given out to Mr James Falconer to see for him, on the 7th day after, his two men are imprisoned for refusing to give it back; and it being returned, and immediately called, it was alleged,—It had not the privilege of the King's causes, of summary discussing, but was gifted in my Lord Preston's name, for the use of the two Popish Colleges of Doway and Paris. This was repelled, because the gift was not passed the seals. Then he offered land to the value; which was also refused, because it was imprisoned with liferents.
This adjudication, being for a fine, has but a reversion of one year, by the 26th Act of Parliament 1685. This was causa religionis that dispensed with all this precipitation.
