CCCXIII. Hill. 31 Eliz. In the King Bench.

AN Action upon the Case was brought for these words, scil. Thou hast forged my hand: It was holden by Gawdy and Wray, Iustices, That such words are not actionable, because too general, without shewing to what writing: And by Wray, these words, scil. Thou art a forger, are not actionable, because it is not to what thing he was a forger.

Godfery, Between Warner and Cropwell; scil. She went about to kill me; An Action lieth for them: for if they were true, she should be bounden to the good behaviour.

And by Gawdy, for these words, scil. Thou hast forged a Wri∣ting; They are not Actionable, because they are incertain words: Which Wray, concessit: But if the Declaration had been more certain, as (innuendo) such a deed, then it had been good enough.

Fuller, A Case was betwixt Brook and Doughty; scil. He hath Counterfeited my Lord of Leicester's hand unto a Letter against the Bishop of London; for the which he was committed to the Mar∣shalsey for it. And it was holden, Not Actionable. And after∣wards, in the principal Case, Iudgment was, Nihil Capiat per Billam.
