A Dictionary of Law

Not to know or know of; to have no knowledge of.

Ignoramus

We do not know it; we ignore it. If the grand jury think an accusation groundless, they endorse on the back of the bill "ignoramus:" we know nothing of it — the truth does not appear.' Modern expressions are: "not a true bill;" "no bill;" "not found." A fresh bill may be referred to a subsequent jury.^ Ignorantia. Non-information: ignorance. Ignorantia facti excusat; ignorantia juris non excusat. Ignorance of fact excuses; ignorance of the law does not excuse.

Ignorantia legis neminem excusat

Ignorance of the law excuses no one.
