Barker and Martyn.
Pasc. 23 Car. Banc. Reg.
THe Plaintiff brings an Action of Trespasse, and declares against the Defendant for breaking his house, and taking away quinque Instru∣menta ferrea, Anglice, Fetters: and a verdict was for the Plaintiff. It was moved in Arrest of Iudgement, that the word Instrumentum is not a word that signifies Fetters; but that it is so general a word that it may expresse any other thing as well, and that the Anglice joyned with it, to interpret what it means, cannot help it, because there is a proper La∣tin word which might and ought to have been used to expresse Fetters by Rolle Iustice said, that by the Statute all pleadings ought to be in Latine. and every particular thing therein ought to be expressed by a Latin word, if there be a proper Latin word for it, as here there is, and therefore the pro∣per Latin word being not used, but another which cannot signifie the thing, the Anglice doth no good; but part of the Declaration shall be judged to be in English, and so it cannot be good. And judgement thereupon was stayed till the other sould move.
