Anonymous.
Trin. 3 Car.
THE parish of Bingley levied a tax on all the lands in it; so much for every acre: and they excepted from the said tax 900 acres of wood, belonging to the Bishop of London, pretending that they were discharged by custom. A parishioner was sued, and judgment was given against him in Pauls, and the judgment was affirmed upon an appeal. And now he prayed a prohibition.
Crew. Serj.
The custom is against law.

Opinion:
Curia.
Make your suggestion, and you shall have a prohibition. Poph. 197.
