Neither the words, "_nec super eum ibimus, nec super eum mittemus_," nor any other words in the whole chapter, authorize, provide for, describe, or suggest, any _judicial_ action whatever, on the part either of the king, or of his judges, or of anybody, _except the peers, or jury_. There is nothing about the king's _judges_ at all. And there is nothing whatever, in the whole chapter, _so far as relates to the action of the king_, that describes or suggests anything but _executive_ action.[16] But that all these translations are certainly erroneous, is proved by a temporary charter, granted by John a short time previous to the Great Charter, for the purpose of giving an opportunity for conference, arbitration, and reconciliation between him and his barons. It was to have force until the matters in controversy between them could be submitted to the Pope, and to other persons to be chosen, some by the king, and some by the barons. The words of the charter are as follows: "Sciatis nos concessisse baronibus nostris qui contra nos sunt quod nec eos nec homines suos capiemus, nec disseisiemus _nec super eos per vim vel per arma ibimus_ nisi per legem regni nostri vel per judicium parium suorum in curia nostra donec consideratio facta fuerit," &c., &c. That is, "Know that we have granted to our barons who are opposed to us, that we will neither arrest them nor their men, nor disseize them, _nor will we proceed against them by force or by arms_, unless by the law of our kingdom, or by the judgment of their peers in our court, until consideration shall be had," &c., &c. A copy of this charter is given in a note in Blackstone's Introduction to the Charters.[17] Mr. Christian speaks of this charter as settling the true meaning of the corresponding clause of Magna Carta, on the principle that laws and charters on the same subject are to be construed with reference to each other. See _3 Christian's Blackstone_, 41, _note_. The true meaning of the words, _nec super eum ibimus, nec super eum mittemus_, is also proved by the "_Articles of the Great Charter of Liberties_," demanded of the king by the barons, and agreed to by the king, under seal, a few days before the date of the Charter, and from which the Charter was framed.[18] Here the words used are these: "Ne corpus liberi hominis capiatur nec imprisonetur nec disseisetur nec utlagetur nec exuletur nec aliquo modo destruatur _nec rex eat vel mittat super eum vi_ nisi per judicium parium suorum vel per legem terræ." That is, "The body of a freeman shall not be arrested, nor imprisoned, nor disseized, nor outlawed, nor exiled, nor in any manner destroyed, _nor shall the king proceed or send (any one) against him_ WITH FORCE, unless by the judgment of his peers, or the law of the land."
