La Roigne Elizabeth, pur paier lea gages del army Eoyall cj fuit maintaitie en cest realme pur plusora ans, a suppreaaer le rebellion de Tyrone, causast un graund quantitie de mixt moneys, ove le usuall atampe del arma de Corone, & inacription de sa Eoyal stile, destre coine in le Tower de London, & transmitte ceux moneys en cest realm, ove proclamation portant dat 24 Maii, ami1 43 de sa reigtie : per q sa Majestie declare & establish ceux mixt moneys, immediatement aprea le dit proclamation fait, destre le loyall & currant money de cest realme de Ireland, & expressemt command que ceux moneys serront issint use, accept & repute, per touts sea subjects, & autera usant aseun traffique ou commerce deins cest realm : & que si ascun person ou persons refuseront de receiver ceux mixt moneys, solonq le denominatio ou valuatio d ceux, viz. shillings p shillings, & lea pieces de 6d. p 6d. & sic de cseteris, esteant tend p paymt dea ascuna wages, fees, stipends, ou debts, &c. ila serront punish come con-temnera de aa Eoyall prerogative & commandement. Et al entent q ceux mixt moneys avoient le raelieur courae & passage, fuit ouster declare per meame le proclamation, que apres le 10 jour de June prochein enauant, touts auts moneys qux ont estr currant deina ce realm devant le dit proclamation, serront decry & adnull, & eateeme come bullion, & nemy come loyall & currant money deina cest realme. En Aprill, devant que cest proclamation fuit publish, quant le pur eoine Dengle-terre fuit currant deina cest realme, un Brett de Drogheda merchant, aiant achate certaine wares d un Gilbert en London, devient oblige al dit Gilbert en obligation de 2001. sur condition que il payera al dit Gilbert, ses executors ou asaignes, 1001. sterling, currant & loyall money ; Dengleterre, a le tombe del Earle Strongbow in Christ-Church Dublin, al certaine jour avener: quel jour happoit destre apres le dit proclamation, & establishmt del standard de mixt moneys deins cest realm : p que al dit jour & lieu Brett fist tender del 1001. en les mixt moneys del novel standard, en pformance del condition del obligation avantdit. Et si cest tender fuit sufficient d saver le forfeiture del dit obligation, & si le dit Brett ore, sur le change ou alteration des moneys deins cest realme, serra compell payer le dit 1001. en auter ou melieur coine que en les mixt moneys, solonque le rate & valuation d eux al temps del tender, fuit le question al councell table, ou le dit Gilbert, eateant merchant de London, ad exhibit petition vers le dit Brett pur le apeedie recoverie de son debt avantdit. Et pur ceo que cest fuit le generall case del realme, & fuit auxy de grand importance en consideration & reason d state, Sir George Gary, esteant donques deputie, & auxy Treasurer del Eoy, requiroit les Chiefe Judges esteant del Privie Councell de cunferrer & conaiderer de cest caae, & de retourner a luy lour resolution touchant ceo. Q icux, sur conference & consideration eu aur touta points del dit proclamation, fueront resolve, que le tender del dit 1001. en les mixt moneys, al jour& lieu avantdit, fait bon & sufficient en la lay de saver le forfeiture del dit obligation ; & que Brett ne secra enforce al ascun temps apres d paier auter money en discharge de cest debt, fopsque cest mixt money solonque le rate & valuation que ceo avoit al temps de tender. Et cest resolution fuit certifie per eux a le seignior deputie, & le certificate enter en le councell-book. Et en cest case divers points fueront consider & resolve. [19] 1. Primerment fuit consider, q en chescun commonwealth il besoigne daver un certein standard de moneys. ; Car nul commonwealth poet estre sans contracts, & nul contracts sans equalitie, & nul equalitie en contracts sans money. Car comt que en les primer societies del mound, permutation del un chose p auter fuit use, uncore bfi toft ceo fuit trove cumbersome, & le transportation & division des choses fuit trove difficult & impossible : &,p ceo money fuit invent, cibien p facilitie de commerce, que p reducer contracts al equalitie. Cum non facile concurrebat, ut cum tu haberes quod ego desiderarem, ego in deem haberem quod tu aceipere velles; electa materia est, cujua publica & perpetua EBitimatio difficultatibua permutationum subveniret. Paulus libr. 1. ff. de contrahendis eript. Et p ceo money est dit per Bodin, mensura publica: & Budelius, li. 1. de re N immaria ca. 3. dit, Moneta est justum medium & mensura rerum comrautabilium; 508 LE CASE DE MIXT MONEYS DAVIS, 20. nam per medium monetae fit omnium return quae in munclo sunt conveniens & justa sestimatio. Et a cest entent Keble dit, 12 H. 7. fol. 23. b. q chescun chose poet estre value per argent: per ql parol argent il etitend money coined. Et le graund utilitie del un ctain standard dea moneys & des measures est bien monstre per Budelius en cest verse. Una fides, pondus, mensura, moneta sit una, Et status illzesus totius orbis erit. 2. Secondment fuit resolve, que appertient solement al Eoy Dengleterre de faire on coyner money deins ses dominions, issint que nul auter person poet ceo faire, sans speciall licence ou commandment del Roy. Et si asciiri presume cle faire ceo de son teste demesne, ceo est treason envers le person del Eoy per le common ley. Et ceo appiert per le statute de 25 Ed. 3. cap. 2. que est forsc^ declaration del common ley ; & per Glanvil, Britton & Bracton devant cest statute, Stamford fol. 2. & 3. Et en le case de Mines, Plowd. Comment, fol. 316. a. cest point est expresse plus decrement, ou est dit, que le Roy avera les mines d or & argent: car si le subject averoit, il per la ley ne poet coigner tielx mettalles, ne mitter print ne value sur eux ; car appertient al Roy solement de metter value al coine, & faire le price del quantitie, & de metier print a ceo; le quel esteant fait, le coine est currant: & si subject ceo fait, ceo est grand treason al common ley, come appiert 23 Ass. p. 2. Et est grand treason al Roy, p ceo que il ad sole power de faire money, &c. En cest livre 3 choses sont expresse queux sont requisite al fesans de loyall money, viz. authority del prince, le print, & le value. Mes sur le consideration del case en question, fuit note & observe que 6 cboses ou circumstances doent concurre p faire loyall & currant money ; 1. Weight, 2. Finenesse, 3. Impression, 4. Denomination, 5. Authorise del prince, 6. Proclamation. Car chescuti piece de money doet aver un certaine proportion de weight ou poize, & un certain proportion de puritie ou finenesse, que est appel alloy. Auxy chescun piece doet aver un certain forme del impression, que serra cognoscibilis & discernibilis : car sicome cere nest seale sans print, issint mettall nest money sans impression. Et moneta dicitur a monetido, quia impressions nos moneat eujus sit moneta. Cujus imago & superscriptio est htscl Ca3saris. Date Cassari qua sunt CiBsaris. Auxy chescun piece de money covient aver denomination ou valuation p quant ceo serra accept ou pay, come pur un penny, un groat, ou un shilling. Et tout ceo covient estre fait per authoritie & commandment del prince, car auterment le money neat loyal; & doet estre publish per proclamation del prince, car devant ceo le money nest currant. Ceux circumstances appearont en les auncient ordinances fait per le Roy pur le coinage de moneys, cibien en cest realme que en Engleterre, queux sont destre trove en le Tower d London la, & en le castle d Dublin icy. Auxy les indentures enter le Roy & les maisters del mint prescribont le proportion cle poize, fineness & alloy, 1' impression ou inscription, le nosme, & le value. Vid. stat. 2 H. 6. ea. 12. ou mention est fait de ceux indentures. Vid. auxy Wade's case en le 5. Part des Reports de le Seignior Coke, 114. b. q le Roy per son proclamation poet fair ascun coine loyall money de Engleterre : a fortiori, il poet per son proclamation tantum establish le standard dea moneys coined per son authority deins ses proper dominions. [20] Et que le Roy p son prerogative poet auxy mitter prize ou valuation sur touts coines, appiert per un notable case, 21 Edw. 3. fol. 60. b. En temps del William le Conqueror, le Abbe de Saint Edmonds Bury coraplainoit al Roy en Parliament, que ou il fuit exempt del jurisdiction del Ordinarie per divers auntient charters, que le Evesque de Norwich ad visit son meason, encounter ceux charters d exemption. Per que fuit grant & ordaine in Parliament, que si de eel temps en avant le Evesq^ cle Norwich ou ascun de ses successors alassent encounter le exemption avantdit, que ils payeront al Roy, ou a ses heires, 30 talents ou besauntes. Apres ceo, viz. en. temps Ed. 3. le Evesque de Norwich visit la meason arrere, encounter le ordinance avantdit: & cest contempt esteant trove en Bank le Roy, scire facias issist vers levesque, a monstrer pur que il ne payeroit al Roy les 30 talents ou besauntes. Et sur insufficient plea plead per levesque, le Court agard que le Roy reeovera les talents ou besauntes, & que la prize soit interpret p le Roy mesme, de quel prize ils serront, plus ou meina. Per que ast manifest, que ou talents ou besaunts, ou auters tiels pieces ou quantities DAVIS, 21. LE CASE DE MIXT MONEYS 509 d or ou argent, sent de uncertaine value, (car budajus dit, quod talenta sunt varia, & pondera aunt potius quam...
