Author Bio: Richard Brownlow (1553-1638) entered Middle Temple in 1583 and became Chief Protonotary of the Court of Common Pleas in 1590, a position he held until his death. John Goldesborough (1568-1618) joined the Middle Temple in 1613, the year he was also appointed Second Prothonotary of Common Pleas. Synopsis: [The Court of Common Pleas, or Common Bench, was a common law court in the English legal system that covered "common pleas"; actions between subject and subject, which did not concern the king. Created in the late 12th to early 13th century after splitting from the Exchequer of Pleas, the Common Pleas served as one of the central English courts for around 600 years. Authorised by Magna Carta to sit in a fixed location, the Common Pleas sat in Westminster Hall for its entire existence, joined by the Exchequer of Pleas and Court of King's Bench.] Richard Brownlow and John Goldesborough, Esquires The First Part With direction - For full description please contact the seller 2.…
