Just as when a man prosecutes another for saying that he cheated at cards, or when a woman prosecutes another for saying that the plaintiff stole diamonds, it is really the guilt or innocence of the plaintiff that is in question, so the issue before the court at Yerville was: 'Is Thorel a warlock or not? The court decided that he himself had been the chief agent in spreading the slander against himself, he was non-suited, and had to pay costs, but as to the real cause of the events which were attributed to the magic of Thorel, the court was unable to pronounce an opinion.
The court, after a long and careful investigation, for two days, as we learn by the Catholic Herald, disposed of the case by declaring the miracle-working damsel non-suited, and condemning her to pay the expenses of the prosecution." Another of Rome's marvellous stories we copy from the New York Daily Times of July 3d, 1854.
He declared that this was indeed the law in the case of men equal in position, but that a bondi had precedence over a vagrant. Asmund further urged that Thorgils had offered to share the uncut portion of the whale with the foster-brothers when they arrived. The defendants were non-suited on that point.
The juge de paix, as we have seen, pronounced that the clearest point in the case was 'the absence of known cause for the effects, and he non-suited Thorel, the plaintiff. The cause of the phenomena is, of course, as obscure for us as for the worthy magistrate.

For self-determination was the cornerstone of the League of Nations, the holiest boon for which the progressive peoples of the world had been pouring out their life-blood and substance for nearly five years. But when Italy invoked self-determination, she was promptly non-suited. When Austria appealed to it she was put out of court.
"Yes, yes! partiality of friendship!" said Ransom, excitedly; and turning to Bart, "he is a Case, as you see; but if a man should go into Court with such a Case, he would be non-suited; he isn't even prima facie." "Good!" exclaimed Kennedy. "Ransom, you are inspired; flattery does you good." "Go on!" said Case; "don't interrupt him, he'll never get such another start."
In this case, therefore, I conceive the plaintiff must be non-suited; and I should disadvise the bringing any such action." "Well," says the squire, "if it be nullus bonus, let us drink about, and talk a little of the state of the nation, or some such discourse that we all understand; for I am sure I don't understand a word of this.
"Did not the judge say it was a mean dirty trick arranged between the brothers and the lawyer?" "No, he didn't he non-suited her and that was all." "And did not Antony Prage, or both of them, go into the witness box and swear that they were innocent of the charge?" "No, they never opened their mouths in court.
