produced, and this has not happened so far, we commission Mr. to our deputies that they should produce these privileges at the next Sejm following the present one, and now at this Sejm I am declaring publica cavere that if they do not produce them by this appointed date, nullatenus will be one of the great prerogatives of the eiigendi regis. 18. Castles on the border between Livonia and Moscow, so that the sumptibus of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania will be provided and repaired by our voivodeship aequum iudicat and those of Their M<5 who have such large fiefs in the Siewierski state, so that in casam subitanei pericuii they should defend the Smolin castle, as some gloriosissime during the last war made it primum impetum hostile until further reinforcements arrived from the Republic of Poland, sustinierunt. 19. That we J. kr. May I deign to translate the dangers of our brothers, Messrs. citizens of the Poznań and Sieradz voivodeships through the Swedish incursions from Silesia and the margraviate, and we, as non ignari mali, willingly allow the praesidium to be planned according to the proportions of the periculorum of that wall. 20. For no fiefs or commutations to Mr. our deputies did not allow us to commission the fiefs that are distributed so that the Id perpetuitates do not turn over, they will obey this, and since in elusionem iuris publici the clergy have arranged fiefs for themselves, whose fiefs are nunauam deficit, so that such fiefs nuUius valoris are pp. our MPs will try to do so. 21. Hence, there is a great confusion in bonis regalibus that the post decessum of the first tenant is not at the hands of the treasury, as was the case before, but by the privata authoritate following the tenutarii of the starosty and the lease, which is why the cannons of the starosty are lost and the buildings are falling into disrepair; pp will take care of it. our representatives, that no one should dare to take away the starosty or the lease, so that it would be given to him according to the treasury inventory, but having appointed a time, with the consent of all, intra quod tempus, this giving should take place, and ensuring that the provent, whatever it was in hoc interstitio temporis, between the deceased and the new tenant, be specified by the treasury and attached to the quarter, as ancient customs and laws teach. 22. Lustrators to Bytom and Lemburg, as well as to the Duchy of Siewierz and to all properties of the Polish Republic not yet lustrated, both old and new settlements, and to those leases in which old sums were already expiring, so that they were asked to apply for this. our envoys have them, or that those appointed long ago should scrutinize them, as long as salaria are designated for them de novo. And the drawsie quarters which could not be judged at the Sejm should be tried in the Radom tribunal. ' 23. Since this Government is made up of three constat states, each of which should know everything about what the publicum Reipublicae negotium is taking place, we should strive for this. our envoys will be to ensure that all pacts concluded long ago and recently and which will be concluded in the future, also with third-party lords as et cum feudatoriis principibus aJ cognitionem of the entire Republic of Poland, should come and be read and signed in all states by the hands of the Most Reverend Archbishop of Gniezno, the Marshal of the Deputies, who was at that time with six at least there were deputies from both nations. And if they did not have such a solemnity, the Republic of Poland would not belong to them and should not have maintained such pacts. And if this cannot happen at this Sejm, then I will lie cavere, so that the next Sejm, God willing, can take its effect. 23. In order to ensure that this constitution de reddenda ratione senatus consultorum does not make matters any longer difficult for the Council of Ministers, the sufTicienter should be declared in such a way that their Messrs. resident senators signed their own agreements and gave part of them, of which to their Lord Mr. Crown officials were not eager to commission Mr. to our MPs »). 24. Feudum of the Duke of Courland that sine scitu et consensu ordinum is conferred'), what a harmful and contrary to the law considers our province to be, we entrust it to Mr. our deputies, that it should be stipulated in the constitution that no new sine scitu omnium ordinum can be granted as a feuda, and these investitures should not take place without the consent of the ordinis equestris. And since such a distinction was made at the last Sejm,
