Magna Carta
Magna Carta, [Latin 'great charter'] The English charter that King John granted to the barons in 1215 and Henry III and Edward I later confirmed. It is generally regarded as one of the great common-law documents and as the foundation of constitution liberties. The other three great charters of English Liberty are the Petition of Right (3 Car. (1628)), the Habeas Corpus Act (31 Car. 2 (1679)), and the Bill of Rights (1 Will. SM. (1689)). Also spelled Magna charta, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 963.This Great Charter is based substantially upon the Saxon Common Law, which flourished in this kingdom until the Normaninvasion consolidated the system of feudality, still the great characteristic of the principles of real property. The barons assembled at St.Edmund's Bury, in Suffolk, in the later part of the year 1214, and there solemnly swore upon the high alter to withdraw their allegiance from the Crown, and openly rebel, unless King John confirmed by a formal charter the ancient li...

De injuria sua propria absque tali causa
De injuria sua propria absque tali causa (of his own wrong, without any such cause as alleged), more compendiously called the traverse de injuria, a species of traverse by replication in pleading, now obsolete, which varied from the common form, and which, though confined to particular actions, and to a particular stage of the pleadings, was of frequent occurrence. It always tendered issue; but, on the other hand, differed (like many of the general issues) from the common form of a traverse, by denying in general and summary terms, and not in the words of the allegation traversed.This species of traverse occurred in the replication in actions of trespass, trespass on the case (including a species of assumpsit), and in the plea in bar in replevin, but was not used in any other stages of the pleadings, See Steph. On Plead.All the advantages of this replication were obtained in every case by joining issue, as provided by the C.L.P. Act, 1852, s. 79, now replaced by R.S.C. 1883, Ord. XIX.,...

Abbott, (1811) 14 East 157]; neither may a bailiff to distrain for rent, though he may enter through an open window [Crabtree v. Robinson, (1885) 15 QBD 312] or over a wall (Long v.
