Chapter 49, Appendix, Footnote #03
Origin of the Star-chamber

Rushworth, vol. ii. p. 473. In Chambers's case, it was the unanimous opinion of the court of King's Bench that the court of Star-chamber was not derived from the statute of Henry VII., but was a court many years before, and one of the most high and honorable courts of justice. See Coke's Rep. term Mich. 5 Car. I. See, further, Camden's Brit. vol. i. Introd. p. 254, edit. of Gibson.
