Capitolo 34
what it involved, to a relatively soon the date. For the purposes of the
Church and the uses of confession it was more convenient to concern crime
or tort, as it made the Romans; as a mental condition, dependent complex
on the state of the mind or her "animosity." The malevolence in the eye of the Church
it was the virus that poisoned otherwise him innocent action, and it did the
thought punishable alone. Indeed, this conception is one whom doesn't have yet
is completely also established in the modern law. The first signals of
such revolution in jurisprudence only started to appear in England some
seven centuries ago. As the Mr. Maitland has observed in his/her _History of
Law_ English, [the Footnote: Vol. II, 476.] "We receive a hit of surprise
when we meet there with a motto that our modern lawyers have shaken, or rather,
_Reum nonfacit nisi mens rea_, in the middle one of the _Leges Henrici_." That
it is to tell AD some place around the year 1118 This motto was taken physics
out of a sermon of Saint Augustine that engraves for him but to that
time the Church had another trial for to suggest from which she affirmed him
authority. You threw the revealing fault liability, in cases of
you doubt, on God. From the test, if a murderer, for example pits
busy, and the accused denied his/her guilt, he had summoned to appear,
and then, after a solemn reference to God from the reigning cleric,
him or you/he/she was caused for bringing an incandescent iron except a certain distance or to
dips his/her arm in hot water. If he was found, after a certain length
of time during which its arm was bandaged, he be be wounded,
kept to have been guilty. If he had escaped unharmed he was innocent.
The test gradually started however, to fall in ridiculous. William Rufus
mocked to him, for of fifty expeditious men to the iron test, under the sacred
the employees' position, all escaped, what certainly, as the Mr. Maitland
it announces, it looks as if the cleric that complete the office of had an interest in
the result. [The footnote: _History of Law_ English, II, 599 notice 2.] Á.
