&lt;p&gt;Right Trusty and Right Wellbeloved Cousin and Councillor, we Greet you Well! Whereas our Right Trusty and Right wellbeloved Cousin Charles John, Earl of Shrewsbury and Waterford Lord High Steward of Ireland hath by his memorial humbly represented unto us that the office of Lord High Steward of Ireland was conferred by Letters Patent, dated the Seventeenth day of July one thousand four hundred and forty six, on his ancestor, Sir John Talbot, Knight of the Order of the Garter, first Earl of Shrewsbury and Waterford and that the said Letters Patent set forth that the said John Earl of Shrewsbury and Waterford should be the King’s Steward of Ireland, and his heirs be Stewards of Ireland for ever and that he and they should successively and hereditarily for ever exercise all and singular those things which in any wise appertained unto the said Office in all things and in all respects in the same manner and form as the King’s Steward of England for the time being ought to do in the same his office.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That the memorialist hath further set forth that the Lord High Steward of England, during his tenure of Office, bears a white staff as a Badge of his office.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That the memorialist hath therefore humbly prayed that we would be pleased to confirm to him and the future inheritors of the honour of Lord High Steward of Ireland certain privileges therein mentioned among the which is the right to carry a white staff or wand as a badge of his said Office.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We, taking the premises into our Royal Consideration are graciously pleased to comply with the memorialist’s request as far as relates to his carrying a white staff or wand as a symbol of his office and of our Princely grace and special favour do give and grant unto him the said Charles John, Earl of Shrewsbury and Waterford our royal permission and authority that he and the heirs male of his body, being Lords High Stewards of Ireland may carry a white wand when appearing officially in that part of our United Kingdom called Ireland and when attending State ceremonials, and placed at such ceremonies according to the office of Lord High Steward of Ireland. We hereby authorize and require you to give such directions for the due record of our Royal Permission in that part of our said United Kingdom called Ireland as shall appear to you advisable—And so We bid you heartily Farewell!&lt;/p&gt;

              <text>&lt;p&gt;ELIZABETH THE SECOND by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of Our other Realms and Territories: Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith –&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To our Chancellor of Great Britain, Our Lieutenants and Sheriffs of Counties –&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our Lord Chief Justice of England, Our Judges for the time being of our Supreme Court of Judicature, Our Circuit Judges, and to all other persons to whom these Presents shall come.  GREETING.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WHEREAS, We being most closely concerned to ensure that justice is done to all Our subjects, have appointed as Judges of our Supreme Court of Judicature, and Our Circuit Judges, persons in whom We have a especial trust and confidence, Requiring them to try all persons committed for trial in Our said Courts, and all causes and matters depending therein: Doing what to justice doth appertain, according to the laws and usages of this Realm:-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;KNOW YE, that it is Our will and pleasure – that Our concern for the doing of justice in Our courts, should be declared to all persons having business therein.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AND THEREFORE WE COMMAND you to ensure that these Our Letters Patent be read at such sittings of Our Courts, as Our Chancellor of Great Britain for the time being may direct.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IN WITNESS WHEREOF We have caused these Our Letters to be made Patent.  Witness Ourself at Westminster the first day of January in the twentieth year of Our Reign.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

              <text>These Letters Patent are a spiritual successor to the &lt;a href="https://cbaionline.org/corpus/items/show/530"&gt;old Commissions of Assize&lt;/a&gt; that used to be read at the opening of the Assizes. When the Courts Act 1971 abolished Courts of Assize and Quarter Sessions and replaced them with Crown Courts, it was decided to maintain an element of the former ceremonial and so these Letters Patent were issued. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reference to the "Judges for the time being of our Supreme Court of Judicature" is outdated given that the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 renamed those courts the "Senior Courts."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These Letters Patent do not appear to have any legal effect since all they do is inform the public that the Queen has appointed judges to try cases and state her concern for the doing of justice in her courts. They are simply a ceremonial flourish.</text>

&lt;div style="text-align:center;"&gt;The 10th DAY of SEPTEMBER 2022&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align:center;"&gt;PRESENT,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align:center;"&gt;THE KING’S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align:center;"&gt;IN COUNCIL&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Majesty, being this day present in Council, was pleased to make the following Declaration:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is my most sorrowful duty to announce to you the death of my beloved Mother, The Queen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know how deeply you, the entire Nation -and I think I may say the whole world ­sympathise with me in the irreparable loss we have all suffered. It is the greatest consolation to me to know of the sympathy expressed by so many to my Sister and Brothers and that such overwhelming affection and support should be extended to our whole family in our loss.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To all of us as a family, as to this kingdom and the wider family of nations of which it is a part, my Mother gave an example of lifelong love and of selfless service.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My Mother’s reign was unequalled in its duration, its dedication and its devotion. Even as we grieve, we give thanks for this most faithful life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of Sovereignty which have now passed to me. In taking up these responsibilities, I shall strive to follow the inspiring example I have been set in upholding constitutional government and to seek the peace, harmony and prosperity of the peoples of these Islands and of the Commonwealth Realms and Territories throughout the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this purpose, I know that I shall be upheld by the affection and loyalty of the peoples whose Sovereign I have been called upon to be, and that in the discharge of these duties I will be guided by the counsel of their elected parliaments. In all this, I am profoundly encouraged by the constant support of my beloved wife.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I take this opportunity to confirm my willingness and intention to continue the tradition of surrendering the hereditary revenues including of the Crown Estate to my government for the benefit of all, in return for the Sovereign Grant, which supports my official duties as Head of State and Head of Nation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And in carrying out the heavy task that has been laid upon me, and to which I now dedicate what remains to me of my life, I pray for the guidance and help of Almighty God.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whereupon the Lords of the Council made it their humble request to His Majesty that His Majesty’s Most Gracious Declaration to Their Lordships might be made public, which His Majesty was pleased to order accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Richard Tilbrook&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;div style="text-align:center;"&gt;The 10th day of SEPTEMBER 2022&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;The Lords of the Council on being acquainted by the Lord President of the Council with the demise of Her Most Gracious Majesty of Blessed and Glorious Memory, prepared the draft of a Proclamation for proclaiming His Most Gracious Majesty King Charles the Third which was signed by the Lord Spiritual and Temporal, Members of the House of Commons, together with other members of Her late Majesty’s Privy Council and representatives of the Realms and Territories, Aldermen and Citizens of London and others as were present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Proclamation was ordered to be printed and published in Special Supplements in the London, Edinburgh and Belfast Gazettes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A PROCLAMATION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to call to His Mercy our late Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth the Second of Blessed and Glorious Memory, by whose Decease the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is solely and rightfully come to The Prince Charles Philip Arthur George: We, therefore, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of this Realm and Members of the House of Commons, together with other members of Her late Majesty's Privy Council and representatives of the Realms and Territories, Aldermen and Citizens of London, and others, do now hereby with one voice and Consent of Tongue and Heart publish and proclaim that The Prince Charles Philip Arthur George is now, by the Death of our late Sovereign of Happy Memory, become our only lawful and rightful Liege Lord Charles the Third, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories, King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, to whom we do acknowledge all Faith and Obedience with humble Affection; beseeching God by whom Kings and Queens do reign to bless His Majesty with long and happy Years to reign over us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given at St. James's Palace this tenth day of September in the year of Our Lord two thousand and twenty-two.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GOD SAVE THE KING&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;[Names of Signatories]&lt;/p&gt;</text>

              <text>The Proclamation differs from &lt;a href="https://cbaionline.org/corpus/items/show/428"&gt;Queen Elizabeth II's Proclamation&lt;/a&gt; in a number of respects:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The King is not described as "the High and Mighty Prince."&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MPs are mentioned alongside the Lords Spiritual and Temporal.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;"&lt;span&gt;Being here assisted with these of His late Majesty's Privy Council" has been replaced with "together with other members of Her late Majesty's Privy Council".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;"Representatives of other members of the Commonwealth" has become "representatives of the Realms and Territories".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;There is no mention of "other Principal Gentlemen of Quality".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;There is no mention of the Lord Mayor of London, though the Aldermen and Citizens are still included.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;The list of participants now concludes with "and others".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;The King is described as "our only lawful and rightful Liege Lord" (this marks a return to form after this language was dropped from Queen Elizabeth II's Accession Proclamation). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;"We do acknowledge all Faith and Obedience with humble Affection" in place of "&lt;span&gt;Her lieges do acknowledge all Faith and constant Obedience with hearty and humble Affection". The use of "we" in place of "His lieges" was seen in earlier proclamations that referred to the King as "our...Liege Lord". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;"Bless His Majesty" instead of "bless the Royal Prince Charles the Third." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;</text>

And We do by these Presents give and grant unto you full Power and authority without expecting any further special Warrant from Us from Time to Time to give order and Warrants for the preparing of Grants of the Custodies of such Idiots and Lunaticks &amp;amp; their Estates as are, or shall be found by Inquisitions thereof taken or to be taken and returnable into Our said High Court of Chancery &amp;amp; thereupon to make and pass Grants &amp;amp; Commitments under Our Great Seal, of the Custodies of all and every such Idiots and Lunaticks and their Estates to such Person or Persons, Suitors in that Behalf, as according to the Rules of Law and the use and practice in those and the like Cases, you shall judge meet for that Trust.
