Conduct
VIII Jeopardy

Imprisonment
where no prison.

—and Ld Comyns
after the Habeas
Corpus Act.

Note (c)

(a)"Every restraint of the liberty of a freeman" (says the abridgement of Chief Baron Comyns) "will be an imprisonment:"
—though it be in the High Street and it or
"elsewhere, and he be not put into any prison or house."
Besides the authority of Lord Coke as above, he quotes two others,
(Cro. Car. 210. Per Thorpe Feb 24. Bar. 301.)
I have them not at hand, nor is it material. Comyns is
a man to add an authority a that adds to the authority of
the original source instead of weakening it. And what, if
there could be a doubt, would do more still than would do be still more apposite than anything
a still more apposite interpretation, than any that could have
Comyns Imprisonment
(G.) been given by Lord Coke—he wrote after the Habeas Corpus Act.

They would both of them have expressed themselves more distinctly fully
though scarcely more intelligibly if they had said
every restraint upon of the liberty of loco-motion would
be an improvement: every restraint upon his liberty of
loco-motion on the part of a freeman, false imprisonment.
