Note 784 — MAGNA CARTA. (continued 4)
Reading edition
Cf supra, c. 24. Coke, Second Institute, p. 44, following the doubtful authority of the Mirror of Justices, extends it to all king’s justices and ministers. The unqualified “ballivus” of this passage should, perhaps, be contrasted with the “noster ballivus” of cc. 28 and 30.
