Mumble was for learning famous.

"Ignorance should be more humble.
Not a spark have you of knowledge

You're self-satisfied unduly.
Of things in college I'm denied
A knowledge -- you of all beside."

Sometimes, instead of using this word, the grand jury endorse on the bill,
"Not found." 4 Bl. Com. 305. Vide Grand Jury.
