Note 220 — Chapter IX

1 Jac. c. 25, § 46. An order of council, in Dec. 1638, that every man having lands of inheritance to the clear yearly value of £200 should be chargeable to furnish a light-horse man, every one of £300 estate to furnish a lance, at the discretion of the lord lieutenant, was unwarranted by any existing law, and must be reckoned among the violent stretches of the prerogative at that time. Rushw. Abr. ii. 500.
