Note 124 — Book III.
John Beames translation
“At the day assigned to the warrantor for appearance, he may essoin himself, or not essoin himself.
“If he neither appears, nor sends an Essoin, the power and benefit of the Law shall be denied to him which is granted to others: for it is an unseemly thing and an iniquity (that he being summoned, appears not by himself nor by another.)” (Reg. Maj. L. 1, c. 21.)
