From the Maidstone Assizes.
14 March 1676.
88. Indictment of James Plastow of Milton for keeping an unlawful
ale-house at Milton from 1 July 1675 to 14 Mar. 1676.
[endorsed] Ignoramus.
(Ignoramus:- Late 16th century (as the
endorsement made by a grand jury on an indictment considered backed by
insufficient evidence to bring before a petty jury): Latin, literally
‘we do not know’ (in legal use ‘we take no notice of it’), from ignorare
(see ignore). The modern sense may derive from the name of a character
in George Ruggle's Ignoramus (1615), a satirical comedy exposing
lawyers' ignorance.)
