Clement VIII. who conferred upon him the honour of 
knighthood. In the year 1600 he went to Paris with car¬

To ARRAI'GN, v. a. [arranger, Fr. to fet in order. J 
To fet a thing in order, or in its place. One is fa-id to ar¬ 
raign a writ in a county, that fits it for trial before the 
judices of the circuit. A prifoner is faid to be arraigned? 
where he is indifted and brought forth to his trial. To 
accufe ; to charge with faults in general, as in a contro- 
verfy, in a fatire.—He that thinks a man to the ground, 
will quickly endeavour to lay him there: for, while he 
defpifes him, he arraigns and condemns him in his heart.

ARRAI'GNMENT ,_/1 The aft of arraigning; an ac- 
cufation; a charge. 
A prifoner is arraigned, w hen he is indifted and brought 
to trial; and to arraign a writ of adize, is to caufe the de¬ 
mandant to be called to make the plaint, in fuch a man¬ 
ner as the tenant may be obliged to anfwer. Co. Lit. 262. 
But no man is properly arraigned but at the fuit of the 
king, upon an indiftment found againd him, or other re¬ 
cord wherewith he is to be charged : and this arraignment 
is to take care that the prifoner do appear to be tried, and 
hold tip his hand at the bar, for the certainty of the per- 
fon, and plead a fufficient plea to the indiftment. Co. Lit. 
262, 263. The prifoner is to hold up his hand only in 
treafon and felony; but this is merely a ceremony. If he 
owns that he is the perfon, it is fufficient without it; and 
then upon his arraignment his fetters are to be taken off* 
and he is to be treated with all the humanity imaginable.
