by a motion continually varying between the lead, or no¬ 
thing, at the extremes K and N, and the greateft of all 
at the middle point A. Or, if the motion be referred to 
the concave fide of the circle, inftead of the line KN, the 
appearances will be the lame. 
If an eye move direCtly forwards from E to O, &c. any 
remote objeCt at reft at P, will appear to move the con- 
o p trary way, or from P to with the 
fame velocity. But, if the objeCt P 
move the fame way, and with the fame 
velocity as the eye, it will feem to 
ftand ftill. If the objeCt have a lefs 
velocity than the eye, it will appear 
K, ~ 0 to move back towards Q^with the dif¬ 
ference of the velocities; and, if it moves falter than tire 
eye, it will appear to move forwards from Q^_with the 
fame difference of the velocities. And fo lilcewife when 
the objeCt P moves contrary to the motion of the eye, it 
appears to move backwards with the fum of the motions 
of the two. And the truth of all this is experienced by 
perfons fitting in a boat moving on a river, or in a wheel- 
carriage when running faff, and viewing houfes or trees, 
&c. on the fiiore or fide of the road, or other boats or 
wheel-carriages all'o in motion.

Appeal, f. An appeal is a provocation from an inferior 
to a fuperior judge, whereby the jurifdiCtion of the infe¬ 
rior judge is fora while fufpended, in refpeCt of the caufe ; 
the cognizance being devolved to the fuperior judge. 
Appeals lie from all the ordinary courts of juftice to the 
houle of lords. In ecclefiaftical cafes, if an appeal is 
brought before a bifiiop, it may be removed to the arch- 
bifliop ; if before an archdeacon, to the court of arches, 
and thence to the archbifiiop ; and from the archbilhop’s 
court to the king in chancery. 
Appeal, in common law, hath two fignifications; one 
is, the removing a caufe from an inferior court, or judge, 
to a fuperior; as from one or more juftices of the peace 
to the quarter feffions. The other kind of appeal is a pro- 
fecution againft a fuppofed offender, by the party’s own 
private action; profecuting alfo for the crown, in refpeCt 
of the offence againft the public. 2 Haw. 155. In which 
latter fenfe, an appeal may be brought in three cafes: 1. 
By a man for a wrong done to his anceftor. 2. By a wife 
for the death of her hulhand. 3. For wrong done to the 
appellants themfelves ; as in cale of robbery, rape, or mat- 
hem. Wood, b. 4. c. 5. 
By ftatute 6 Edw. I. c. 9. all appeals of death muft be 
fued within a year and a day after the completion of the 
felony. And if a man be acquitted on an indictment of 
murder, or found guilty and pardoned by the king, yet he 
ought not (in ftriCtnefs) to go at large, but be imprifoned 
or let to bail till the year and day be paft, within which 
time an appeal may be brought. 3 Hen. VII. c. 1. If the 
appellee is conviCted, the ancient ufage w r as, fo late as 
Henry the Fourth’s time, that all the relations of the (lain 
fhould drag the appellee to the place of execution. 4 Bl. 316 . 
Forafmuch as an appeal is the fuitof the party, as well 
as of the king, hence it is that the king cannot pardon an 
offender found guilty upon an appeal, as he may when 
found guilty upon an indictment; for in fuch cafe he can 
only pardon for himfelf, but not for the party. 2 Haw. 155. 
However the punifhment of the offender may be remitted 
and difeharged by the concurrence of all parties interefted; 
and, as the king by his pardon may fruftrate an indictment, 
fo the appellant by his releafe may difeharge an appeal. 
4 Blackjl. 316. If the perfon appealed be acquitted on the 
appeal, the appellor (hall be imprifoned for a year, and 
reftore damages to the party, and be grievoufiy fined to 
the king, 13 Edw. I. ft. 1. c. 12. that is, if the appeal 
fhall appear to the court to have been malicious. 2 Haw. 
198. And, being acquitted on the appeal, he cannot af¬ 
terwards be indiCted for the fame offence. 4 Blackfi. 315. 
But appeal is now entirely difufed, on account of the great 
nicety required in conducting it, and the charges of pro- 
fecution ; and indictment is the only method now taken.
