Medical laws and legislation -- Great Britain
For the words of the act of Queen Mary are, “according to
the tenor and meaning of the said act:” also “shall send or commit any
offender or offenders for his or their offence or disobedience, contrary
to any article or clause contained in the said grant or act, to any
ward, gaol, &c.” But in this case Bonham has not done any thing which
appears within this record, contrary to any article or clause contained
within the grant or act of 14 H. 8. Also the gaoler who refuses shall
forfeit the double value of the fines and amerciaments that any offender
or disobedient shall be assessed to pay; which proves that none shall be
received by any gaoler by force of the act of 14 H. 8. but he who may be
lawfully fined or amerced by the act of 14 H. 8. and that was not
Bonham, as by the reasons and causes aforesaid appears. And admitting
that the replication be not material, and the defendants have demurred
upon it; yet forasmuch as the defendants have confessed in the bar, that
they have imprisoned the plaintiff without cause, the plaintiff shall
have judgment: and the difference is, when the plaintiff [162]replies,
and by his replication it appears that he has no cause of action, there
he shall never have judgment: but when the [163]bar is sufficient in
matter, or amounts (as the case is) to a confession of the point of the
action, and the plaintiff replies, and shews the truth of the matter to
enforce his case, and in judgment of law it is not material, yet the
plaintiff shall have judgment, for it is true that sometimes the
declaration shall be made good by the bar, and sometimes the bar by the
replication, and sometimes the replication by the rejoinder, &c. but the
difference is, when the declaration wants time, place, or other
[164]circumstance, it may be made good by the bar, so of the bar,
replication, &c. as appears in 18 E. 4. 16. b. But when the declaration
wants substance, no bar can make it good; so of the bar, replication,
&c. and therewith agrees 6. E. 4. 2. a good case, and _nota_ there
_dictum_ Coke. _Vide_ 18 E. 3. 34. b. 44 E. 3. 7, a. 12 E. 4. 6. 6 H. 7.
10. 7 H. 7. 3. 11 H. 4. 24. &c. But when the plaintiff makes
replication, sur-rejoinder, &c. and thereby it appears, that upon the
[165]whole record the pl. has no cause of action, he shall never have
judgment, although the bar or rejoinder, &c. be insufficient in matter;
for the court ought to judge upon the whole record, and every one shall
be intended to make the best of his own case. _Vide_ [166]Ridgeway’s
case, in the Third Part of my Reports 52. b. and so these differences
were resolved and adjudged between [167]Kendal and Helyer, Mich. 25 & 26
Eliz. in the K.’s Bench, and Mich. 29 & 30 Eliz. in the same court,
between [168]Gallys and Burbry. And Coke Ch. Just. in the conclusion of
his argument observed seven things for the better direction of the
president and commonalty of the said college for the future. 1. That
