Register of writs
Register of writs, an old book in which new forms of original writs were entered. The Register of Writs is said to be the oldest book in the law-a character which may, in a great measure, be true, but should not be allowed without some consideration. It is not more certain than extraordinary that the forms of writs were settled in their substance and language very nearly in the manner in which they were drawn ever after. However, this uniformity was not so exact as that the writs published and used in the reign of Henry VIII. were all of them identically the same with those used at the first origin of this invention, in the reign of Henry II. It is not to be wondered at that there should be a difference in these forms at their infancy, and at this advanced state of our law; but it is remarkable that the difference should be no small, Reeves, 426; Co. Litt. 16 b, 37 b, 159 a....
