A judgment may be falsified, reversed, or voided, in the first place, without a writ of error, for matters foreign to or dehors the record, that is, not apparent upon the face of it; so that they cannot be assigned for error in the superior court, which can only judee from what appears in the record itself; and therefore, if the whole record be not certified, or not truly certified, by the inferior SO court, the party injured thereby tu both civil ami criminal cases may allege a diminution of the record, and cause it to lie rectified. 2dly, A judgment may be reversed by writ of error, which lies from all inferior criminal jurisdictions to the court of kings bench, and from the kings bench to the house of peers, and may be brought fur notorious mistakes in the judgment or other parts of the record. The effect of falsifying 01 reversing an outlawry is, that the party shall be in the same plight as if lie had appeared upon the capias: and, if it be before pleaded, lie shall lie |i\it to plead to the indictment; if, after conviction, he shall receive the sentence of the law; lor all the other proceedings, except only the process of outlawry for his non-appearance, remain good and effectual as before. But, when judgment pronounced upon conviction is falsified or reversed, all former proceedings are absolutely set aside, and the party stands as if he had never been at all accused, restored in his ciedit, his capacity, his blood, and his estates; witli regard to which last, though they be granted away by the crown, yet the owner may enter upon the grantee, with as little ceremony as he might enter upon a disseisor. But he still remains liable to another prosecution for the same offence: for, the fir^t being erroneous, he never was in jeopardy thereby. Reversion, in the law of England, has two significations: the one of which is an estate left, which continues during a particular estate in being ; and the other is the returning of the land, &c, after the particular estate is ended; and it is further said to be an interest in lands, when the possession of it fails, or where the estate which was for a time parted with returns to the granters, or their heirs. But, according to the usual definition of a reversion, it is the residue of an estate left in the granter, after a particular estate granted away ceases, continuing in the granter of such an estate. The difference between a remainder and a reversion consists in this, that the remainder may belong to any man except the granter: whereas the reversion returns to him who conveyed the lands, &c.
