Robert Paynell’s King’s Bench Reports (1625–1627)

This book is the promised complement of the editor’s collection of Robert Paynell's Exchequer Reports (1627-1631) published by ACMRS. This new volume will be welcomed by scholars as it illuminates how law was practiced in the English Court of King’s Bench and sheds light on the particular legal concerns of this particular lawyer. These law reports cover some important common law cases which have been heretofore known only by very imperfect older reports. In addition, the introduction discusses generally the reporting of law cases in the time of King Charles I.
