NOVAE NARRATIONES

New counts. The collection called “Nova Narrationes” contains pleadings in actions during the reign of Edward III. It consists principally of declarations, as the title imports; but there are sometimes pleas and subsequent pleadings. The Artieuli ad Novas Narrationes is usually subjoined to this little book, and 1& a small treatise on the method of pleading. It first treats of actions and courts, and then goes through each particular writ, and the declaration upon it, accompanied with directions, and illustrated by precedents. 3 Reeve, Eng.
