GO
Go, is used sometime in a special signification in our Common law: as to go to God, is to be dismissed the Court. Brook, titulo. Fayler de re∣cords, num. 1. Go forward, seemeth also to be a sign given by a Judge to the Seargeant or Counsellor, pleading the cause of his Clyent, that his cause is not good. For when he standeth upon a point of Law, and heareth those words of the Judges mouth, he taketh understanding, that he loseth the Action. Smith de Repub. Anglo. lib. 2. cap. 13. To go without day, is as much as to be dismissed the Court, Kitchin, fol. 193.
Good behavior. See Good abearing.
Good abearing, (Bonus gestus) is, by an especial signification, an exact carriage or behaviour of a subject, toward the King and his liege people, whereunto men upon their evil course of life, or loose demeanure, are sometimes bound. For as M. Lamberd in his Eirenarcha, lib. 2. cap. 2. saith: he that is bound to this, is more strictly bound than to the peace: because, where the peace is not broken without an affray, or bat∣terie, or such like: this surety (de bono gestu) may be forefeited by the number of a mans com∣pany, or by his or their weapons or harnesse: Whereof see more in that learned Writer in the same Chapter, as also in M. Cromptons Ju∣stice of peace, fol. 119. b. 120. 121. 122. 123. 124. 125. 126. 127.
Good Country, (Bona patria) is an Assise, or Jury of Country-men or good neighbours: Skene de verbo signif. verbo, Bona patria.
