Manslaughter on a sudden quarrel

4 Steph. Com. 103, note (t). Chance medley is distinguished by Blackstone from homicide per infortunium, or by misadventure, (4 Bl. Com. 182;) tliouffh the terms seem to be confounded in the (nd books, {Staundf PL Cor. lib. 1, c. 8. Termes de la ley. West's Symho Uog. par. 2, tit. Indictments, sec. 6, cited in Blount; ) and by so late a writer as Whishaw. It is also sometimes confounded with chaudmedley, (q. v.) Sir Michael Foster, however, considers the di£^rence between chance medley, and chaud^medley, in point of sense, as very small. Fost. Cr. Law, 296, note.
