	Crown debt - LoveToKnow 1911
		At common law the crown always had a lien on the lands and goods of debtors by record, which could be enforced even when they had passed into the hands of other persons.
		The difficulty of ascertaining whether lands were subject to a crown lien or not was often very great, and a remedy was provided by the Judgments Act 1839, and the Crown Suits Act FIG.
		Simple contract debts due to the crown also become specialty debts, and the rights of the crown are enforced by a summary process called an extent (see Writ).

	Crowne, John: The Destruction of Jerusalem (1677)
		John begins by spreading the falsehood that Matthias has sold the city out to the Romans--a suggestion that seems to reflect the widespread rumors of the 1670s that Charles was planning an alliance with Catholic France.
		Having captured Matthias, John, employing the unadorned language used to refer to Catholic priests, describes him as a "Romish priest." We also discover another connection to apocalyptic literature in John's urging of Matthias to "Behold the desolations you have made" The "abomination of desolation" is a phrase used in Daniel (11:31).
		John Crowne was born in London, the son of William Crowne, a nobleman whose political skills enabled him to thrive during the period of the Commonwealth.

		The birthday and parentage of John Crowne, one of the most prolific of the crowd of restoration dramatists, are alike unknown.
		From recent researches it appears probable that he was the son of William Crowne, who emigrated to Nova Scotia, and that he was born about 1640.
		The concentrated horror of the last-mentioned piece has led to its receiving more notice from Crowne’s critics than his other tragic productions; 12 but there is not any nobility in his treatment of the awful story.

	Crowne, John Criticism and Essays
		Crowne's plays are interesting and important mainly because they offer a glimpse into the political vogue of the Restoration period.
		His comedies, particularly Sir Courtly Nice (1685), were often superlatively praised by contemporaries for their pleasing and skillful structure, and his 1675 masque Calisto was a courtly event of enormous grandeur.
		However, although many plays employ a subtle wit and capable dramatic organization notable in any period, critical attention in recent times focuses on Crowne's political themes and his significance as a representation of Restoration dramatic taste.

	Royalty Restored or London under Charles II - Chapter XXI
		It was scarce to be expected, in an age when men ventilated their merest grievances by the publication of pamphlets, Dryden could refrain from pointing out to the public the mistake into which they had fallen by honouring this man. Nor was he singular in his feelings of animosity.
		The poets Shadwell and Crowne, believing themselves ignored and neglected, whilst their rival was enriched and exalted, joined Dryden in writing a merciless criticism upon Settle's tragedy.
		He had not, however, tired of humiliating the laureate, and to mortify him the more, introduced a new poet at court, This was John Crowne, a man then little known to the town, and now best remembered as author of "Sir Courtly Nice," a comedy of wit and entertainment.

		Crowne's inclusion of the song to mark Courtly's appearance magnifies the histrionic excess the fop attaches to his daily routine.
		From this opening image, the audience is made aware that Courtly not only places a premium on appearance and being the centre of visual attention, he is the self-styled embodiment of the theatre itself; he is creature born of dramatic excess, possessing equal parts critic, audience, and player.
