In a subsequent parliament, that of the thirty-fifth of the queen, the commons, after a great debate, expressly voted, that a person outlawed might be elected. D'Ewes, p. 518.

* D'Ewes, p. 444. Si rixa est, ubi tu pulsus, ego vapulo tantum. Juv. * See note EE, at the end of the volume. See the statutes under the head of Purveyance.
