The next fpecies of trial is of great antiquity, but much \ndifuted; though ftill in force if the parties chufe to abide by it: I \nmean the trial by wager of battel. This feems to have owed it\u2019s original\n to the military fpirit of our anceftors, joined to a fuperftitious \nframe of mind; it being in the nature of an appeal to providence, under \nan apprehenfion and hope (however prefumptous and unwarrantable) that \nheaven would give the victory to him who had the right. The decifion of \nfuits, by this appeal to the God of battels, is by fome faid to have \nbeen invented by the Burgundi, one of the northern or German clans that \nplanted themfelves in Gaul. And it is true, that the firft written \ninjuction of judiciary combats that we meet with, is in the laws of \nGundebald, A. D. 501, which are preferved in the Burgundian code. Yet it\n does not feem to have been merely a local cuftom of this or that \nparticular tribe, but to have been the common ufage of all thofe warlike\n people from the earlieft times. And it may alfo feem from a paffage in \nVelleius Paterculus, that the Germans, when firft they became knwon to \nthe Romans, were wont to decide all contefts of right by the fword: for \nwhen Quintilius Varus endeavoured to introduce among them the Roman laws\n and method of trial, it was looked upon (fays the hiftorian) as a \n\u201cnovitas incognitae difciplinae, ut folita armis \u201cdecerni, jure \nterminarentur.\u201d And among the antient Goths in Sweden we find the \npractice of judiciary duels eftablifhed upon much the fame footing as \nthey formerly were in our own country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n -\u201cA description of the \u201cgreat antiquity\u201d of \u201cthe trial by wager \nof battle\u201d from Blackstone\u2019s Commentaries on the Laws of England, Volume\n III, p. 337 (1768)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client.\u201d \u201cAll bad precedents begin with justifiable measures.\u201d \u201cThe spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right\u2026\u201d \u201cI think the first duty of society is justice.\u201d \u201cTremble, all ye oppressors of the world! \u201cRemember always that all of us\u2026are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.\u201d \u201cTrue patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else.\u201d \u201cA majority held in restraint by \nconstitutional checks and limitations\u2026is the only true sovereign of a \nfree people.

If it had been as easy to remove\n the jury from the customs as from the laws of England, it would have \nperished under the Tudors, and the civil jury did in reality at that \nperiod save the liberties of England.\u201d
