A quick definition of bancus:

Term: BANCUS

Definition: Bancus is an old English word that means a court or tribunal. There were different types of bancus, such as bancus publicus (public bench) and bancus superior (upper bench). The King's Bench and Queen's Bench were also types of bancus. Bancus was sometimes abbreviated as b.s. and was used during the Protectorate period in England (1653-1659).

A more thorough explanation:

Bancus (pronounced bang-kus) is a Latin term used in English law to refer to a court or tribunal. There were different types of bancus, including bancus publicus (public bench), bancus reginae (Queen's Bench), and bancus regis (King's Bench).

The bancus superior (upper bench) was another term used to refer to the King's Bench during the Protectorate (1653-1659).

The abbreviation for bancus is b.s.

One example of a bancus is the Queen's Bench, which was a court in England that dealt with criminal cases and civil cases involving the Crown. Another example is the King's Bench, which was a court that dealt with cases involving the King's interests.

The bancus publicus was a court that was open to the public and dealt with cases that affected the community as a whole.

These examples illustrate how the term bancus was used to refer to different types of courts in English law.
