WHAT DOES WAGER OF LAW MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Wager of Law

A wager of law is essentially a character reference by, initially kin and later neighbours, often 11 or 12 men, and was a way to give credibility to the oath of a defendant at a time when the wager of law had more credibility than account books.
