assize

Belgium’s chamber of indictment “presumes that there are sufficient indications in this particular case” and the doctors involved have been referred to the court of assize in Ghent.

Most houses possessed the right to hold the assize of bread and ale and to fine alewives who overcharged or gave short measure.

The assize business is over, and there won't be much press for the next month or two.

It is said that these three friends, dining together during a Liverpool assize some years after they had been called, agreed that their prospects were anything but cheerful.

The trial came on at an early period of the assize, and the prisoner was found guilty, and condemned to be hanged.
