Scotch Reform To Ld Grenville

Besides actions reputed unusual, the defence of Not Guilty,
applies in common to those actions or demands each of very
wide extent. Trespass, Trover and Ejectment. Trespass (transgression) or
in termini giving no information at all (for are we not all
transgressors?) Trover giving information which is almost always
false – Ejectment, giving information which is commonly false,
and amounts to nothing when it happens to be true: trespass
for all sorts of purposes not included in the other denominations:
Trover for the purpose of trying title to things moveable: Ejectment
for the purpose of trying title to things immoveable.

Add to these Nullum facit vortum he committed no
such waste – made reckoned a distinct sort of General Issue from
not guilty, as if there were no guilt in committing waste:
such not – – he committed no such
wrong – he committed no such diffusion i as if there were
no guilt in committing wrong of any sort or at least of that
sort; and as if the guilt which there was in turning a man
out of prop an estate for which should have been his for a
limited number of years, ceased as soon as the number of
such years swelled to such a degree beyond all limits as to be unlimited: for such
is the difference between ejectment and , in so far as
confusion so thick can be dissipated receive clearness from in so few words.

These are all the General Issues in Gilbert (on Evidence)
and none there are more than are in use.
