Excerpt from List of Proceedings in the Court of Requests, Preserved in the Public Record Office, Vol. 1 In the latter years of Elizabeth, the Court of Requests came into repeated conflict with the Court of Common Pleas; and in Michaelmas term, 40-41 Eliz., the latter court decided in the case of Stepney v.
