Decies tantum.
DEcies tantum is a Writ that
lies where a Iuror in any
Enquest takes money of the one
part or other, to give his Ver∣dict;
then he shall pay ten times
as much as he hath received: a •• d
every one that will sue may have
Action, and shall have the one
half, and the King the other.
But if the King in such case
release by his Pardon to such a
Iuror, yet that shall be no Bar
against him that brings the
Action, who shall recover the
other half, if this Action be com∣menced
before the Pardon of the
King; but if the Pardon be be∣fore
any Action, it is a Bar a∣gainst
all men.
descriptionPage 247
And the same Law is of all
other Actions popular, where
one part is to the King, the o∣ther
to the party that sues. And
the Embracers, who procure such
Enquests, shall be punished in
the same manner, and they shall
have imprisonment a year. But
no Iustice shall enquire thereof
ex officio, but only at the Suit
of the party.
