THE NORMAN "0YEz.,
A Legacy Of William the cenquseer ia
the Courts. s2%5


Everybody who has ever been IN a
United States courtroom knows that
when the judge walks out of his cham
bers and ascends the bench the court
crier drones out: fs1%%
"Oyez, oyez, Oyer, the honorable court
Of the (whatever district It may be- Is
now in session." ET
Not many persons, however, realize
that the crier says "oyez, Oyer, oyez,"
instead Of ''harken, harken, harken,"
because Of q chance visit that William
the Conqueror made to an English
court almost 900 years ago.
William had overrun England, seized
the government and placed himself at
its head. Happening to enter q court
room, he heard the crier call the as
semblage to order in English. Wnnam
rebuked him and on the spot decreed
that the business Of all English courts
should be transacted in Norman
French, his native tongue. AfterHard
the courts went back to English, but to
this day "oyez, oyez, oyez," clings to
court customs wherever the English
language Is spoken as a reminder Of
the great Norman who whipped King
Harold In the battle Of Hasdngs~
