| William Walker Esquier porta Attaint envers Jo. Quadering & ceux del' Petit xij. Et |
57 |
Plaintiff assigned the false oath with certainty (that defendant brought a writ of Forcible entry against plaintiff, plaintiff pleaded not guilty, and was found guilty.
The (prospective) jurors of the Attaint (jury) were demanded, and appeared.
Defendant challenged the array (of prospective jurors) because plaintiff chose the sheriff as arbitrator in an arbitration with defendant on the title to the land in which forcible entry was supposed, and prayed that the array be quashed.
Plaintiff prayed that the Attaint jury.
Argument whether the challenge was principal.
Plaintiff replied that the sheriff was chosen to be indifferent.
Newton CJCP told the parties to say what they wanted on either side, and to demur bravely and to test the law.
Defendant challenged as before, and said that the sheriff had conferred with the other arbitrators on several occasions in this arbitration.
Plaintiff replied that when he chose the sheriff and another, defendant chose them too as indifferent.
The Justices chose two (prospective jurors) from the array to try the challenge.
The two triors were sworn.
The triors found that plaintiff chose the sheriff as an arbitrator for his part, but that the arbitrators arbitrated indifferently, and prayed the Justices' discretion.
The jurors were discharged until another day so that the Justices could be advised. |
Sjt Portyngton (for D) pur le defendant challenge l' array pur cest cause, s. pur ceo que le Vicount & un K. furent esleus arbitrors de part le plaintif envers un W. Moile & un G.A. arbitrors esleus del' part le defendant issint l' array n' est duement fait; Et pria que il soit quasse; le Vicount avoit commune ove l' auters arbitrors de l' auter part, & ont este plusieurs fois assembles pur l' arbitration de ycele
Sjt Markham: est principal challenge quant a cest array, car le Vicount sera entendu plus faveurable pur ceo cause que est mostre que il voule estre adevant; est principal quant a' s Jurors
Sjt Fortescue (for P): Me semble que ceo n' est principal del' parte le Vicount, mes d' un Juror il sera come ad estre dit: mes quant al' Vicount nemy, car principal challenge quant al' Vicount sera ceux que sont jamais perpetuele; Come ou le Vicount est deins le distreint le plaintif ou defendant ou de sa affinite, come frere ou cousin, & hujusmodi, que durent en perpetuitie: & issint n' est a or, car ceo que est dit est determine & nient perpetuele; Nous disons que le Vicount & l' autre furent esleus d' estre indifferents & nient l' appert, issint l' array bien & duement fiat; Quand un homme est esleu arbitror indifferent, il est auxybien esleu per l' un come per l' auter, & il est auxybien de l' assente de l' un come de l' auter; covient estre dit necessaire indifferent esleu
Fulthorpe JCP: Il est principal challenge, si le Viconte soit consobrine (= cousin german, first cousin on mother's side) le plaintif, ou l' defendant ou compere (= godfather) al' plaintif ou defendant & uncore la cause de cel peut estre determine per l' mort cesty per quel il est consobrine ou compere
Newton CJCP: cest election luy fait party, & il est adonques quant a cel' regard de conseile cesty de que part il est esleu, que est cause suffisant de quasser cel' array; Ditez come vous voulez d' un part & de l' auter, & demurrez hardiment & assaiez le Ley; coment qu le Vicount doit tout le mal & malice que il puisse al' plaintif, ou al' defendant s' il en fesance del' array vient & vraiement fait sans aucun faveur mostrer a l' unou a l' auter, cest array est bon, & s' il met eins un Juror suspective & nient indifferent, tout l' array est quasse; Et si un Juror dit que il veut passer ove le plaintif, son dit n' est cause de luy traite s' il ne soit trouve per les triours ou per la Court, ue il dit ceo plus pur faveur que il dit pur l' verite del' matter
Ayscough JCP; Il ne sera dit eleccion indifferemment; issint de tants come ils vueillent aver, issint si tiele forme y aver en la election |

John Fortescue was appointed CJKB on 20 Jan. 1442. Walter Moyle was created Serjeant in July 1453 |
process of choosing arbitrators for arbitration; principal jury challenges; Newton CJCP invited the parties to demur bravely and test the law; trial of jury challenge
Sjt Markham and Newton CJCP argued for defendant's challenge
Sjt Portyngton (for D): the sheriff and one K. were chosen arbitrators on the part of plaintiff against one W. Moile and one G.A. arbitrators chosen on defendant's part
Newton CJCP: if I bring a writ of Debt against you, and we are at issue, and you challenge a juror, and you say that he was chosen arbitrator on my part in a writ of Trespass that I brought previously against you, and you pray that he (the challenged juror) be withdrawn, this is no cause, because he was chosen arbitrator in another matter than that for which he is now impanelled, but in the same matter there is no question but that it will be a principal challenge; And to this that you said of a principal challenge, perpetual, etc. if there had been alliance between the sheriff and thei plaintiff, even though it could be terminated by death, yet this alliance is a good challenge to quash the array; even though the sheriff have all the ill will and malice that he could have toward plaintiff or toward defendant, if he in making the array (of prospective jurors) came and truly made it without showing any favour to the one or to the other, this array is good, andif he put in a suspicious juror, and not indifferent, all the array is quashed; and if a juror said that he would pass with (give a verdict for) the plaintiff, his saying this is no cause to withdraw him if it be not found by the triors or by the Court, that he said this more for favour than he said it for the truth of the matter (to which all the Court agreed)
Fulthorpe JCP: It is a principal challenge, if the sheriff be cousin-german (consobrine, first cousin on mother's side) the plaintiff, or the defendant, or godfather (compere) to the plaintiff or defendant |
