Kings have always had a little way of doing as they pleased. See the anecdote of King Cusupald in Paulus' Hist. For all this see Lex Burgundionum, 34, 1-4. For all these, see Lex Wisigothorum, iii, 6, 1 and 2. Capitula Addita ad Legem Alemannorum, 30. Lex Baiuvariorum, vii, 14. Lex Ripuariorum, Tit., 35. Lex Baiuvariorum, vii. Lex Alemannorum, 51, 1.
Whether Magna Carta allowed of any other trial than by jury. The question here arises, whether "legem terrae did not allow of some other mode of trial than that by jury. These were the only modes of trial, except by jury, that had been knownin England, in criminal cases, for some centuries previous to Magna Carta.
The word per, in the phrase "per judicium parium suorum," of course means precisely what it does in the next phrase, "per legem terrae;" where it obviously means according to, and not by, as it is usually translated.
The principle "Necessitas non habet legem" has indeed a true and harmless meaning when properly understood; it means that no law is violated when a man does what he is physically necessitated to do, and that no law can compel him to do more than he can do. Thus a disabled soldier cannot be compelled to march on with his regiment; necessity compels him to remain behind.
