Bertha H. Putnam, Early treatises on the practice of the justices of the peace.

Probably issued with Redman's 1530 editions of: Carta feodi (STC 15582); Modus observandi (STC 7711; i.e. 7713.9); England and Wales. Court of Exchequer. This is a true copy ... (STC 7695.7); and the 1532 edition of Returna brevium (STC 20898) --Cf. STC (2nd ed.)
