For those who did not receive this posting through the Chester County list, (as I did not) here it is again -

Black's Law Dictionary says,

"We are ignorant;" "We ignore it. Formerly the grand jury wrote this word on bills of indictment when, after having heard the evidence, they thought the accusations against the prisoner was groundless, intimating that, though the facts, might possibly be true, the truth did not appear to them; but now they usually write in English the words, "No Bill." "Not a true bill." or " Not found".
