L'Onice et Auctoritie de Justices de Peace, in part Collect per Sir Anthonie Fitz-herbert, et ore le tierce fois inlarge per Richard Crompton. 4lo. London. 1587. " The first designed directions for the right execution of the Justice's Office, were collected by Sir Anthony Filz-herbert." It was originally written in French, 151-1, and translated into English, 1538. Crompton preferred to make his additions in the original language, and they were so considerable, that the book was frequently cited as Cromptori's Justice.

It is commonly, however, cited by the paging of the original edition, which contains 271 pages, although in some of the editions it is divided into 606 pages. In the ninth edition.
