an armed force, or _sending_ an armed force on the lands, and against the castles, of all whom he knew or suspected to be his secret enemies, without observing any form of law."--3 Lingard, 47 note.] [Footnote 20: "_Judgment, judicium._ * * The sentence of the law, pronounced by the court, upon the matter contained in the record."--3 _Blackstone_, 395. _Jacob's Law Dictionary. Tomlin's do._ "_Judgment_ is the decision or sentence of the law, given by a court of justice or other competent tribunal, as the result of the proceedings instituted therein, for the redress of an injury."--_Bouvier's Law Dict._ "_Judgment, judicium._ * * Sentence of a judge against a criminal. * * Determination, decision in general."--_Bailey's Dict._ "_Judgment._ * * In a legal sense, a sentence or decision pronounced by authority of a king, or other power, either by their own mouth, or by that of their judges and officers, whom they appoint to administer justice in their stead."--_Chambers' Dict._ "_Judgment._ * * In law, the sentence or doom pronounced in any case, civil or criminal, by the judge or court by which it is tried."--_Webster's Dict._ Sometimes the punishment itself is called _judicium_, _judgment_; or, rather, it was at the time of Magna Carta. For example, in a statute passed fifty-one years after Magna Carta, it was said that a baker, for default in the weight of his bread, "debeat amerciari vel subire _judicium_ pillorie;" that is, ought to be amerced, or suffer the punishment, or judgment, of the pillory. Also that a brewer, for "selling ale contrary to the assize," "debeat amerciari, vel pati _judicium_ tumbrelli"; that is, ought to be amerced, or suffer the punishment, or judgment, of the tumbrel.--51 _Henry_ 3, _St._ 6. (1266.) Also the "_Statutes of uncertain date_," (but supposed to be prior to Edward III., or 1326,) provide, in chapters 6, 7, and 10, for "_judgment_ of the pillory."--_See 1 Ruffhead's Statutes_, 187, 188. 1 _Statutes of the Realm_, 203. Blackstone, in his chapter "Of _Judgment_, and its Consequences," says, "_Judgment_ (unless any matter be offered in arrest thereof) follows upon conviction; being the pronouncing of that punishment which is expressly ordained by law."--_Blackstone's Analysis of the Laws of England, Book 4, Ch. 29, Sec. 1. Blackstone's Law Tracts_, 126. Coke says, "_Judicium_ ... the judgment is the guide and direction of the execution." 3 _Inst._ 210.] [Footnote
