Note 540 — MAGNA CARTA. (continued 2)

See Prof. Maitland, Sel. Pl. Crown, xiii.-xvi.; see also in Pipe Roll, 7 John (cited Madox, I. 791) how money was paid that a plea pending before the Justiciarii de banco might be heard coram rege. This entry proves that in 1205 there were two distinct courts, one known as de banco and the other as coram rege.
