Clark's Case

Opinion of the Court

Jones, J.

A man may maintain a jesuit, without being within the statute; for it ought to be a jesuit born here, for if it be a French or Spanish jesuit, it is not felony to harbour him.

Adjournatur. It was replied that the words are actionable, for although it is not felony; it is a scandal to be charged with harbouring Zuares or Greg. de Valencia. Jones 68, Roll. 69.
