The unexpected termination cf this trial led to the bringing into Parliament the foil wing year, cf a bill, "to abolish all appeals of mur ih r, trca?on, felony, or other otfences, any w:;gcr cf battle, or joining issue, and trial by battle, ia writs of right." The wr.gcr of battle, like the ordeals of fire and water, touching the murdered body, and other extraordinary and now obsolete modes of finding out tho better or wcre man, of course originated in the superstitious belief that Providence would in all eases trive the penter.

It would Lave been so very awkward if he had been victor after all. One important difference, however, existed in the conduct of the civil ancl criminal ca ses. In criminal matters, tho accuser aud ac cused met on the field and foughC it out in per son; in civil suits the paitics fought by proxy. Each employed a sort of physical force barris ter. The reason for tL"i5, as given by Judge IJlackstoue, is, that if any" party to suit dis, the euit must abate, and be at an end for the present: and, therefore, no judgment cculd be given for the laals ia question, if either of the parlies were slain ia battle. Another reason was, that ro person should be allowed to claim exemption from this mode of trial ia a civil action, while there were many circum stances under which the accused party in a criminal charge W3S deprived of Lis choice of trial, and compelled to submit the inquiry to a jury. The fact cf the accuser beiug a fe male, or under age, or above the age of sixty, or in holy orders, or a peer cf the realm, or any one expressly privileged from the trial of battle, by soaic charter of the king (as were tha citizens of London among others,) or la- ? boring under some material personal defect, Xilr An ell woman caught a Cashy young iaa picking her pocket at Toledo.
