Aid of the King
Aid of the King [auxilium regis, Lat.], the king's tenant prays this, when rent is demanded of him by others. A city or borough, holding a fee-farm from the king, if anything be demanded which belongs to such fee-farm, may pray, in 'aid of the king,' and the king's bailiffs, collectors, or accountants shall have aid of the king.
