King's Silver Pubblico Deposited
According to Wharton, Law Lexicon, 1864, this was " the money which was paid to the King, in the Court of Common Pleas, for a license granted to a man to levy a fine of lands, tenements, or hereditaments, to another person ; and this must have been compounded, according to the value of the land, in the alienation office, before the fine would have passed."
