Cola ■ to cape Apolloiiia, the coaft is low and even, ex- 

 tending itfelf for a courfe of 12 miles ea ft ward, bordered 

 w^th large trees, and covered with vil'lages, the chief of 

 which are Boqun, Iflini Pegiiena, Great IfTini, Albiar.i, 

 Tabo, and Akanimina. Tlic firfl (lands at a fmall diftance 

 fronn the fhore, near the mouth of the river Da Colla, 

 furrounded by woods and pleafantly fituated. Iflini Peguena, 

 and Great Iflini, are both fituated on the fea-coaft, at the 

 diftance of three or four miles, and between them is a number 

 of villages. Three of them are confiderable. Great Iflini is 

 built at the entrance of a fmall river, which, during the dry 

 feafon, is loil in the fands, but difcharges itl'tlf into the 

 fea during the rainy months. This town was pillaged and 

 burnt by the inland Negroes in 16S1 ; but has fincc recovered 

 its importance by the addition of a great number of houfcs 

 and inhabitants. Where the river empties itfelf into the fea, 

 it forms a fmall ifland, very commodious for building a fort ; 

 but no fiich defence has been attempted by the Europeans. 

 Great Iflini is celebrated for the purity of its gold, which 

 probably comes from the kingdom of Afliento, at the fource 

 of the Rio de Suero da Colla, a country rich in gold, but 

 little known to the Europeans. Eaftof Iflini are the little 

 diftridls and towns of Albiani and Tabo, the former fix 

 miles and the latter ten from it, both furrounded by high 

 groves of palms, feen at a great diilance at fea, and much 

 frequented by European fiiipping. A mile further eaft, and 

 half a mile weft of cape Apoilonia, flandsthe village Aka- 

 nimina, on a rifing ground ; commanding an extenfive fea 

 and land profpeft. The interior country between Eoqun 

 and this village, is high, rugged, and mountainous, but 

 affording fome fine gold, ivory, and formerly a few flaves. 

 The gold duft of thele two places is commonly found at the 

 depth of fix fathoms, for two miles a!ong the coaft ; and 

 the Negroes mix it with pulverized copper fo expertly, that 

 it requires touching to difcover the fraud.

ISSUANT, Issuing, in Heraldry, is underftood of a 

 Lon, or other animal, in a coat of arms, that feems juft 

 coming out from under a chief, fefie, a houfe, a wood, or 

 tlie like ; and only ftiews half his body. 



It is not very eafy to dillinguifli th& lion ilFuanl from, the 



1 s s 



lion naiflant : fowie fay the iffuant is that which comes OHt 

 from the bottom of the chief, fliewing his head, neck, the 

 tip of his fore-legs and his tail, againft the chief of the 

 coat ; whereas the naiHant has its rife about the middle of the 

 field, and fhews all his fore-part, with the tip of his tail, as 

 if he vi'ere rifing out of the earth. 



ISSUE, in Common Laiu, has divers application?, being 

 fometimcs taken for the children begotten between a maa 

 and his wife — fometimes for profits growing from amerce- 

 ments or fines — fometimes for profits of lands and tenements' — 

 but more frequently for the point of matter depending in 

 luit, whereupon the parties join, and put their caufe to the 

 trial of the jury. 



On all thefe occafions, in"ue has but one fignification, which 

 is, an elfett of a caufe preceding : as the children are the 

 eflecl of the marriage between the parents ; the profits grow- 

 ing to the king or lord, from the punidiment of any man's 

 offence, are the eflxjcl of his tranfgrefiion ; the point referred 

 to the trial of twelve men, is the effcdl of pleading or 

 procefs. 



Ifllies concerning caufcs arc of two kinds ; that iipoK 

 matter of fadl, and that upon matter of law. An ifl"ue in 

 fafl is v.'hcn the phintifl" and defendant have agreed upon a 

 point to be tried by a jury ; and in"ue in lanv is when there 

 is a demurrer to a declaration, plea, &c. and a joinder 

 in demurrer, which is an iffue at law to be determined by 

 the judges. (See Demurrek.) Iflucs in faSl are either 

 general or /pedal. General, feems to be that whereby it is 

 referred to the jury to bring in their verdict, whetiier or no 

 the defendant hath done any fuch thing as the plaintilt' lays- 

 to his charge. 



For example, if it be an offence againft any ftatute, and 

 the defendant plead not guilty ; this being put to the jury^ 

 is called the genera/ i/fiie. — So, if a man complains of a pri- 

 vate wrong, which the defendant denies, and pleads no 

 wrong, nor di.Teifin ; and this be referred to the jury ; it is 

 likewiie the general ifTue. Speda!, is that, wherein ipecial 

 matters being alleged by the defendant in his oficncc, both 

 parties join on this point, and fo go to a demurrer, if it be 

 guj^lio juris ; or elfe to a trial by the jury, if it be qutJliQ 

 faQi: as in affault and battery, where the defendant pleads 

 that the plaintiff' ftruck firft. 



Issue, Collateral. See Reprieve. 



Issue, Feigned, in C/'an<:f;-js is ufed when a matter of facl 

 is ftrongly controverted, and the court directs the matter tQ 

 be tried by a jury : but as no jury can be fummoned to at- 

 tend this court, the fad is ufually direfted to be tried at the 

 bar of the court of king's bench, or at the alfizes upon a 

 feigned iffue. For, in order to bring it there, and have the 

 point in difpute, and that only, put in ifiue, an adion I's 

 brought, wherein the plaintiff", by a fiction, declares that he 

 laid a w^ager of 5/. with the defendant, that A was heir at 

 law to B, and then avers that he is fo, and tlierefore demands 

 the 5/. The defendant allows the feigned wager, but avers 

 that A is not the heir to B. : andthcreupon that iffue is joined, 

 which is dircded out of chancery to be tried, and thus the 

 verdicl of the jurors at law determines the fadt in the court 

 of equity. Thefe feigned ifl"ne3 fecra to be borrowed from 

 the fponjio judiciatis of the Romans ; and are alfo frequently 

 ufed in the courts of law, by confent of the parties, to de- 

 termine fbme difputed right without the formality of plead- 

 ing, and thereby to fave much time and cxpence in the de'- 

 cifion of a caufe. Blackft. Com. book iii. p. 452.
