“Dedimus potestatem is a Writ, and it lieth where a man sueth in the Kings Court, or is sued, and may not well trauell, then he shall haue this Writ directed to some Justice, or other discreet person in the Countrey, to giue to him power to admit some man for his Atturny, or to leuie a fine, or to take his confession, or his Answer, or other Examination, as the matter requireth.” Rastell, Les Termes de la Ley, 109 verso, 110.
