FLIGHT.
Flight, one shall forfeit his chattels upon a su∣gam fecit, notwithstanding that he be acquitted of the same felony, and he shall forfeit them,* 1.1 although he have his Charter of pardon for the same felony. One may fly for felony, and yet he shall forfeit nothing, as where one is arrested for suspi∣cion of Felony and escapes, yet for this he shall not forfeit his goods, if he were not taken with the manner, or at the suit of the party, or endicted of the same.
When a true man is pursued as a felon, and he ••lieth and waveth his own goods, these are forfei∣ted,* 1.2 as if they had been goods st••llen. Fatetur facinus, qui judicium fugit. Those that ••ly for fear of the offence (we call it a sugam fecit) forfeit their chattels.
