order in council of 1390 directing the lords of the council to See also:form a See also:committee to examine the petitions of the humble See also:people. Its See also:jurisdiction was chiefly equitable, and owing to the small expenses of See also:procedure it See also:grew in popularity, especially for, cases not of sufficient importance to bring into the court of See also:chancery itself. Under See also:Wolsey the court was fixed permanently at See also:Whitehall. The See also:judges of the court were styled masters of requests.

Henry VIII.'s reign the judges of the court had ceased to be privy councillors, and towards the end of Elizabeth's reign the court incurred the hostility of the See also:common See also:law courts, as having neither a statutory nor prescriptive See also:title to jurisdiction. Notwithstanding a decision in 1598 as to the illegality of its jurisdiction, and subsequent decisions to the same effect in the reigns of James I. and See also:Charles I., it continued to flourish until the suppression of the See also:Star Chamber in 1640 virtually put an end to it. Although it sat until 1642, and masters of requests were appointed even after the Restoration, it ceased to exercise judicial functions. There were also courts of requests or, as they were sometimes called, courts of See also:conscience, established in See also:London in the reign of Henry VIII. with jurisdiction in matters of See also:debt under See also:forty shillings. These courts were extended in the reigns of See also:George I. and George II. to various places in England, but they were abolished by an See also:act of 1846 (See also:County Courts Act), which established in their See also:place the tribunal of the county court (q.v.).
