| 释义 | `1`Battel `2` "Legal Lexicon": BATTEL - in French Bataille; Old English law. An ancient and barbarous mode of trial, by Bingle combat, called wager of battel, where, in appeals of felony, the appellee might fight with the appellant to prove his innocence. It was also used in affairs of chivalry or honor, and upon civil cases upon certain issues. Till lately it disgraced the English code. This mode of trial was abolished in England by stat.59 Geo.,III. c.46. This mode of trial was not peculiar to England. The Emperor Otho, 983 A. D., held a diet at Verona at which several sovereigns and great lords of Italy, Germany and France were present. In order to put a stop to the frequent perjuries in judicial trials this diet substituted in all cases, even in those which followed the course of the Roman law, proof by combat for proof by oath. --b-- |
