BENEFIT OF BELLY	convicted women could appeal for a *reprieve from execution on the grounds of pregnancy (they would be examined by a *jury of matrons). In theory, this was only a temporary reprieve until after the birth, but it seems likely that some women managed to escape execution permanently by this means. Should not be seen as comparable to *benefit of clergy
BENEFIT OF CLERGY	an extremely important escape route from execution, with medieval origins. Those convicted of *common law *felonies, on a first conviction, who passed a rudimentary reading test (usually reading from a verse in the Bible, commonly known as the *neck verse), would be branded on the thumb and then released. NB: until the end of the seventeenth century this applied primarily to men. Women were not eligible to claim benefit of clergy at all until 1623, and then only in a limited way (they could not claim clergy for *manslaughter, for example, unlike men) until 1691. There were other changes from the late seventeenth century. The reading test was abolished in 1706, so that the application of benefit of clergy was made automatic for first-timers convicted of common law felonies, but from around the same time increasingly they would be sentenced to *transportation rather than branding and discharge.
