Prerogatiue.
Any vnreasonable thing killing a man:* 1.1 As the wheele of a mill, when one falleth from the bridge into the water, and is carri∣ed by the violence of it vnder the outward * 1.2 wheele; the taske of Corne that a man fal∣leth from, and so receiueth his death: it, and euery thing mouing with, it is forfeit to the King. As if a man beeing vpon a Cart * 1.3 carrying Faggots, and binding them toge∣ther, fall downe by the mouing of one of the horses in the cart, and die of it: both that and all the other horses in the cart, and the cart it selfe, are forfeit. And these are called Deodands.
