Lamb's case

By the statute 36 E. 3. all pleas of the Crown ought to be in Latin; then those general words extend not to witchcraft in particular; ergo it is bad.

concurred, if a man be indicted quod murdravit quendam hominem, (viz.) I. S. it is bad. There is no Latin word here, signifying in English, witchcraft.

assented, If there be no Latin word signifying witchcraft, one shall be framed, as tenementum, anglice, a gun. But incantation, &c. are proper words.

And the indictment was quashed. Kel. 3. plac. 13, Jones 143. Noy 85. Bendl. 185.
