courts of the principality of Wales
Courts which were established in Wales during the reign of Henry the Eighth in which all pleas of real and personal actions were held in the same manner as in the court of common pleas at Westminster. They were courts of record and appeals lay from them to the court of king's bench. These courts were abolished in the reign of George the Fourth. See 3 Bl Comm 77.
