A dedimus potestatem for the caption of a fine is directed to A. B. esquire : he takes the conusance, and afterwards is made a knight, and certifies the conuzance by the name of A. B. knight : this fine was affirmed upon a writ of error brought. The use is that the justices of both benches, and the barons of the Exchequer, take the conusance of fines in their circuits ; and afterwards, before the return of them, it happens that they are made knights ; and as such, they certify the captions : and well.
