Orphan date January 2011 A plea in equity , in the common law , is a statement of facts raised by a defendant which operates as a defense to an equitable claim raised by the plaintiff. Traditionally, the plea is required to state new facts, additional to those set forth in the plaintiff s bill in equity , and these facts must support a dispositive defense to the claim such as the passage of a statute of limitations , plaintiff s prior waiver or Settlement law settlement of the claim, or res judicata . In the United States , the legal and equitable jurisdiction of most courts has been merged, and the plea in equity has been abolished. However, it remains a valid plea in certain states. In Virginia , a plea in equity may still be filed, and such a filing entitles either party to request a jury trial to decide the facts alleged in the plea.

Unreferenced date July 2009 In the common law , the peremptory pleas pleas in bar are plea s that set out special reasons for which a trial law trial cannot go ahead. They are the plea of double jeopardy autrefois convict , the plea of autrefois acquit, and the plea of pardon . A plea of autrefois convict Law French for previously convicted is one in which the defendant claims to have been previously convicted of the same offence and that he or she therefore cannot be tried for it again. A plea of autrefois convict can be combined with a plea of not guilty. A plea of autrefois acquit Law French for previously acquitted means the defendant claims to have been previously acquitted of the same offence, on substantially the same evidence, and that he or she therefore cannot be tried for it again. A plea of autrefois acquit can be combined with a plea of not guilty. Related doctrines include res judicata and, in the criminal context, a plea in bar of double jeopardy . In the plea of pardon, the defendant claims that he or she has been pardon ed for the offence and therefore cannot be tried for it. Under English law, there is an additional peremptory plea, that of special liability to repair a road or bridge. Under English law, local government authorities have the legal obligation to repair roads or bridges but, in certain circumstances, the responsibility lies with a landowner instead. The local government authority, charged with a failure to repair a road or bridge, can allege that the responsibility lies with a landowner, at which point the proceedings against them are suspended and those against the landowner they allege to have the responsibility are begun but, if the landowner is found not to be responsible, then the matter may be recommenced against the local government ...

Because a guilty plea must be made intelligently, knowingly, and voluntarily, the court must advise the defendant of the following things The nature of the charge The potential penalties which might result from the plea, including any mandatory minimum sentence The defendant s rights to not plead guilty, and to request a jury trial. The court must ask the defendant if he understands each of these points, and must receive a voluntary affirmative response. Many courts use a script of the questions which the judge will ask the defendant and the defense attorney in a specific order. Failure by the court to advise the defendant of any of the above points will supply the grounds for a collateral attack on the plea if such an attack is successful, the guilty plea will be withdrawn, and the defendant will be given the opportunity to enter a new plea.

Plea rolls are parchment rolls recording details of legal suits or actions in a court of law in England. Courts began recording its proceedings in plea rolls and filing its writs from its foundation at the end of the 12th century. Most files were kept by the Custos Brevium established by 1246 but files of writs of Covenant historical covenant were kept by the chirographer because of their association with feet of fines , which were kept separately by the chirographer established by John of England King John s reign . The court s records were at first held by its justices and their clerks. From 1257, non current records were passed to the treasury at the Exchequer. During 1288 1731, non current records, plea rolls, files of fines, and writs were transferred from the court to the Treasury of the Receipt of the Exchequer and thence, eventually, to the Public Record Office at Kew .

Background Recording Recorded in the spring of 1962 a few days after Marvin turned 23, the song was the first single from Marvin s second album, That Stubborn Kinda Fellow . The song was the answer song to The Supremes modest charter, Your Heart Belongs to Me , as in that song, the lead singer Diana Ross wrote to her lover who was serving his country from a faraway land .

Thoreauviana expanded Core A Plea for Captain John Brown is an essay by Henry David Thoreau . It is based on a speech Thoreau first delivered to an audience at Concord, Massachusetts on October 30, 1859, two weeks after John Brown abolitionist John Brown s raid on Harpers Ferry, West Virginia Harper s Ferry , and repeated several times before Brown s execution on December 2, 1859. It was later published as a part of Echoes of Harper s Ferry in 1860. sup References 1 sup Context John Brown, a radical Abolitionism abolitionist , and twenty one other men seized the federal armory at Harper s Ferry, the holding place for approximately 100,000 rifles and muskets, hoping to arm slavery slaves and create a violent rebellion against the south. However, after thirty six hours the revolt was suppressed by federal forces led by Robert E. Lee and Brown was jailed. The raid resulted in thirteen deaths, twelve rebels and one United States Marine Corps U.S. Marine . After being found guilty of murder, treason, and inciting a slave insurrection, Brown was hanged on December 2, 1859. Although largely called a failure at the time, the raid and Brown s subsequent execution impelled the American Civil War . Synopsis Thoreau s essay espoused John Brown and his fight for abolition. In opposition with popular opinion of the time Thoreau vehemently refuted the claims of newspaper s and his fellow countrymen who characterized Brown as foolish and insane he painted a portrait of a peerless man whose embrace of a cause was unparalleled.
