It was said by Dyer in the Case of one Brent, that the Law is, Altho' a Man be found an Idiot by Inquisi∣tion,* 1.1 yet he ought to be ex∣amined by the Counsel, and affirmed by them to be an Idiot, or otherwise he shall not be bound by the Inquisi∣tion. And he said further, That Brent was found an Idiot by Inquisition; and after being examined by the Lords of the Star-Chamber, he was adjudged to be no Idiot; whereupon he was delivered from the Thraldom of Idiocy.
