Report concerning lost Records on Writs of Error: Jeffs versus Bolton & al. and King versus Bolton & al.
The Earl of Clarendon reported from the Lords Committees, appointed to inquire into the Circumstances
of the Case, as to the losing the Rolls, or Records, of
Two Judgements, in Two Causes in the Court of King's
Bench; in One of which, Robert Jeffes was Plaintiff, and
Peter Bolton and Edward Bridgen Defendants; and in
the other, Stephen King was Plaintiff, and the said Peter
Bolton and Edward Bridgen Defendants, on the Day
they were to have been brought into this House by
virtue of Two Writs of Error: "That the Committee
have examined several Persons in relation to the Loss
of the said Rolls, or Records; and that John Parker,
Clerk of the Outward Treasury of the King's Bench,
declared, upon Oath, to their Lordships, "That the
said Rolls, or Records, were casually lost, after Writs
of Error had been granted for bringing up the same
into this House:" But it was fully proved to the
said Committee, upon the Oaths of Two Witnesses,
"That, before the losing the said Rolls, or Records, the
Transcripts thereof had been very carefully examined by the proper Officers and other Persons
with the Originals, and made to agree exactly therewith." The Committee, therefore, that no Delay of
Justice may be occasioned by the pretended Loss of
the said Rolls, or Records, are of Opinion, That
the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench
be permitted to bring up the said Transcripts; and
that the Plaintiffs in the said Writs of Error do thereupon assign Errors, and proceed as usual in Cases where
Original Records are regularly brought up, except to
hearing; and that the Attornies or Agents for the
Defendants in Error, giving due Notice to the other
Side, do move the said Court of King's Bench, the
First Day of next Term, to cause new Rolls, or Records, to be made up and filed, of the Proceedings
and Judgements in the Causes aforementioned."
Which Report, being read by the Clerk, was agreed
to by the House, and ordered accordingly.
Bolton & Bridgen versus Jeffes. Bolton & Bridgen versus King.
The Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's
Bench, in the usual Manner, brought up the Transcripts of the Records upon the said Two Writs of

in the other, the said Peter Bolton and Edward Bridgen
are Plaintiffs, and Stephen King Defendant.
