486 37 H- 8, CAP. 8, INDICTMENTS.
like Words in effect, where of truth the parties so indicted had
no manner of such Weapons at the time of the said Offence
committed and done; (2) yet in default and lack of the same
Words, the said Indictments were, and yet be taken as void
in the Law, for to put any person to answer thereunto: (3)
366 and the party* or parties, so indicted, for lack of the same
Words not being comprised and put in the said Indictments,
have taken advantage thereof, and have avoided the same In-
dictments by Writ or Writs of Error, or by Plea upon his or
their appearance, as the same Case did require: (4) For re-
formation whereof, be it enacted by the King our Sovereign
Lord, with the assent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal,
and of the Commons, in this present Parliament assembled,
and by the Authority of the same, That from the Feast of the
Nativity of our Lord God next coming, these Words, Vi &
armis, vis. cum baculis, cultellis, arcubus, & sagittis, or such
other like, shall not of necessity be put or comprised in any
Inquisition or Indictment; (5) nor that the party or parties
being hereafter indicted of any Offence, shall have or take
any Advantage by Writ or Writs of Error, Plea, or otherwise,
to adnul or avoid any such Inquisition or Indictment, for that,
that the said Words, Vi & armis, vis. 'baculis, cultellis, arcubus,
& sagittis, or any of the same or like Words, shall not be put
or comprised in the said Inquisitions or Indictments; (6) But
that the same Inquisitions or Indictments, and every of them,
lacking the said Words, Vi & armis, viz. baculis, cultellis,
arcubus, & sagittis, or any of them, shall from henceforth, by
the Authority aforesaid, be taken, deemed, and adjudged, to
all intents, constructions, and purposes, as good and effectual
in the Law, as the same Inquisitions and Indictments, having
the said Words, Vi & armis, viz. 'baculis, cultellis, arcubus, &
sagittis. comprised and put in every of the same Inquisitions
and Indictments were, or heretofore have been taken, deemed,
or adjudged; any Law, Usage, or Custom heretofore had and
used to the contrary notwithstanding.
