Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Battle of the Quills; Or Wilkes Attacked and Defended: An Impartial Selection of the Most Interesting Pieces, Argumentative, Declamatory, and Humourous, in Prose and Verse, Relative to John Wilkes As to forfeitures for refusing to appear, herein the law distinguishes between outlaw-rises in capital cases, and those of an inferior nature; for as to outlawries in treason and felony, the law interprets the party´s absence as a sufficient evidence of his guilt, and, without requiring farther proof, accounts him guilty of the fact; on which ensues corruption of blood, and forfeiture of his whole estate real and personal. But outlawry in less crimes, or in personal actions, does not occasion the party to be looked upon as guilty of the fact, nor occasion an entire forfeiture of his real estate, but yet is very fatal and penal in its consequences; for here by he is restrained of his liberty, if he can be found, forfeits his goods and chattels and the profits of his lands while the outlawry remains in force. In antient times, outlawry was considered as so horrid a crime, that any one might as lawfully kill a person outlawed as he might a wolf, or other noxious animal; but this law was changed in Edward III.´s time; and it was then provided, that an outlaw mould be put to death by the sheriff only, having lawful authority for that purpose. A sheriff may, on a capias utlagatum, break open the house of the person outlawed; or may enter any place, and seize him, where ever he lies hid.
