2S E. 3, STAT. 5, CAP. 17, PROCESS OF CAPIAS,
In 1 Archb. Crim. Pr. & PI. 583 it is stated that the prosecutor is not
bound to call all the witnesses on the back of the bill, but he must have
them in Court, in order that the prisoner may examine any of them whose
evidence he may require; but if the prisoner calls them he makes them his
own witnesses, and R. v. Woodhead, 2 Car. & K. 620, is referred to, in
which the rule was so laid down lately by the Judges. It is believed, how-
ever, that the rule here is otherwise, at least in capital cases.
CAP. X.
Every Measure shall be according to the King's standard, and shall be
striked •without heap; saving the Rents of Lords.

Item. Whereas it is con-
tained in the Great Charter,
that one Measure shall be
throughout England, which
Charter hath not been well
kept and holden in this point
in times past; (2) it is accord-
ed and assented, that all the
Measures, that is to say, Bush-
els, Half-Bushels, Peck, Gal-
lon. Pottle, and Quart through-
out England. within Franchi-
ses and without, shall be ac-
cording to the King's Stand-
ard; (3) and the Quarter shall
contain Eight Bushels by the
Standard, and no more. (4)
And every Measure of Corn
shall be striken without Heap.
Auxint come contenue soit
