But an earlier--,and for my purpose a stronge
case occurred in the time of Eel,vard in,an ap-
peal between Sir John Firzthornas pnd Sir Wm.
de Vese.y. The Judge had taken from both par-
ties. ',lenges of battel, but the King forbade it,
atilt ordered the entire process to be annulled. -
An accused person, who unlawfully wagered his
battel, was ;u ison, " until be should.
have satisfied the King for his' contempt."—Pla-
cit.lle quo warranto. ann.B. Ric. 2.—ailmigrige

liege, Pasch. and Trio. 33 Ed. 1.
If the King took lip ,he matter, both parties
were brought honourably out of the lists; neither
having precedence of the other.
Thence 1 iiter,,that an unlawful wager of battel
being punishable, •a`laWful wager thereof could,
not be prevented : yet, if it could, that the
King's inhibition could not bar the Appellee of
his advantages, but merely quash the appeal al-,
together.
And when I am told, that the appeal is a pri-
vate right, wherein the. King bath no share; I
shail reply, that he cannot have a partial con-
troul to 'debar its right out the one side and ad-,
vance it on the other.

11 the Appellee is a minor, and he wagers his
baud, it shall he deferred until he arrives at age:
Lint it the Appellant is a minon, some of the boobs
say, that such. plea shall oust the appeal alto-
gether. This minority ceases at fourteen.

(ebony may be found in the book of the laws of
NOrmandy, .cap. 65.--,hut through the antiquated
learning on this subject, not a word is .sound
authorizes the Crown at its pleasure to, controtil
the Appellee in his plea, or force him'to put
