Statute; & Amerciaments sont tiels que sont arbitrablement impose per les aff eerors, quel Kitch. semble a confirm̄ fol. 78. en ceux parolx, Amercia∣ment est affere per Pares.

Auter diversity la est: come si home soit convict devant le Vicount en le County un Recaption, il serra fors∣que amercie, mes sil soit con∣vict de ceo en le Common Bank, il serra fine. Et le reason de cest diversity est, Que le County-Court nest pas Court de Record, & pur ceo ne poit imposer un Fine, car nul Court poit imposer Fine mes tiel Court q̄ est de Record, Coke lib. 8. fo. 41. a. Si le Defendant ou Tenant plead un faux Fait a luy, ou deny son fait demesn̄, & ceo est trove vers luy, ou sil, re∣licta verificatione, cognoscit Actionem; il serra fine pur fauxism, Quia certi debemus esse de proprio facto. Mes si ua deny le Fait son Ancestor, & ceo est trove vers luy, un∣core il ne serra fine, mes a∣mercie solement, Quia de a∣lieno facto. Co. lib. 8. fol. 60. a. Vide pluis la.
