Contempt by Barons of Exchequer Stirs Royal Remonstrance
The document criticizes Barons of the Exchequer for defying royal prerogative in a land dispute involving John Annesley and Maurice, alleging they refused to restore lands pending appeal and acted beyond their authority. It cites oaths to redress wrongs and asserts the Barons pursued jurisdiction superior to that of Parliament, without informing the Crown or its lieutenants.
