| Fitzherbert Verdict 3 |
45 Edw. 3, Fitzherbert Estoppel, on verdicts |
|
| Det sur obligation le defendant dit que il fuit lay home et nient lettre et fuit lie a luy en lieu dacquittance & issint |
5 |
Defendant pleaded that he was a layman and illiterate and it (the obligation) was read to him in lieu of acquittance and thus was not his deed.
The inquest (jury) said that defendant knew well that it was an obligation and that defendant was obliged in the same sum and that it was his own will to be thus obliged.
All the Court held clearly that this was no verdict, but the inquest ought to say whether it be defendant's deed or not.
The jurors were compelled to do this, so they said that it was defendant's deed. |
