Case VI 2 H 8 9 Co 118 H Dally, 25, Pl 8 11 Co 59 A B Keyleway, 159, 204 Forcible Entry, Restitution Commissioners De Oyer And Terminer, Bank Le Roy: 1220

Commissioners of oyer and terminer have no power to exclude upon the statute of forcible entry : for the statute of 8 H 6, cap. 3, which provides an enquiry and restitutiori in this case, appropriates it to the justices of peace : but the judges of the King’s Bench are wittin the statute ; for the King sits there, and where the King sits est plenitudo potestatis. Proprietates verborum tuendae sunt.
