PREFACE
In the Students' Laic Glossary here submitted the author has collected and defined such words and phrases as occur in tatter-day legal literature, and has arranged them for the convenience of the student and the lawyer. No attempt has been made to exhaust the field of legal dictionaries, glossaries, and Latin lexicons. Only the unusual and, more particularly, the foreign words and phrases found in the text of the Cyclopedia of Law and Procedure are here presented in concise form. The text of this publication has been examined page by page and line by line, and to the material so obtained has been added such other words and phrases as a complete system of cross-referencing necessitated. In the preparation of this work the author is indebted to tlie leading English dictionaries, to the excellent law dictionaries of Anderson, Black, and Bouvier, and to the law glossary of Tayler. It is hoped that this little book may prove a pocket friend of the student, and a desk companion to the lawyer, especially in connection with the reading of the Popular Edition of the Cyclopedia of Law and Procedure.
In addition to the glossary feature there has also been inserted in this volume a complete list of the names and abbreviations of the American, English, Irish, Scotch, Australian, Canadian, and New Found-land reports, which cannot fail to be of great assistance to students who are more, or less unfamiliar with the names of the reports and their abbreviations. This list was compiled and arranged by Mr. Frank G. Neubauer.

BENEFIT OF CLERGY. In its original sense the phrase denoted the exemption which was accorded to clergymen from the jurisdiction of the secular eourts, or from arrest or attachment or criminal process issuing from those court* in certain cases. Afterward, it meant a privilege of exemption from the punishment of death, accorded to such persons as were clerks, or could read. This privilege or exemption from capital punishment was anciently allowed to clergymen only, but afterward it was extended to all connected with the church, even to its most subordinate officers, and at a still later period was extended to all persons who could read (then called clerks) whether ecclesiastics or laymen. It does not appear to have been extended to cases of high treason, only to mere misdemeanors. The privilege was claimed after the person's conviction, by a species of motion in arrest of judgment, technically called " praying his clergy.'* As a means of testing his clerical character, he was given a psalm to read (usually, or always, the fifty-first) and, upon
ib
his reading it correctly, he was turned over to the ecclesiastical courts, to be tried by the bishop or a jury of twelve clerk* This privilege operated greatly to mitigate the extreme rigor of the criminal laws, but was found to involve such grosa abuses that parliament began to enact statutes providing that certain crimes should be felonies " without benefit of clergy," and finally by St. 7 Geo. IV, c. 28, 5 6, it was altogether abolished. In the United States by Act of Congress, April 30, 1790 (U. S. Rev. St. (1878) g 5329 [U. S. Comp. St. ( 1001 ) p. 3822)). it is provided that there should be no benefit of clergy for any capital crime against the United States, and, if this privilege formed a part of the common law of the several states before the revolution, it no longer exists.

19
holder for real value as opposed to a holder for pretended value, or it may mean a holder for real value without notice of fraud. Used in contradistinction to " mala fide." BONA FIDE PURCHASES.

20
contract, the lender shall also lose his money. See Bottomry Bond ; Hypotheca ; Respondentia.

It is also used, in the American practice, as a kind of equitable process, to stay the granting of a patent for lands.
In patent law, a caveat is a formal written notice given to the officers of the patent-office, requiring them to refuse lettsrs patent on a par-ticular invention or device to any other person, until the party filing the caveat (called the "caveator ) shall have an opportunity to establish his claim of priority of invention.

CORPUS. A body; the substance; the essential part; an aggregate or mass; the capital of a fund or estate as distinguished from the income; the land itself as distinguished from interest, income, or profit. See Corpus Delicti.
CORPUS DELICTI. The body of the crime. The substance or essential actual fact of the crime or offense charged; the fact that the particular crime alleged has been actually committed. In a derivative sense the corpus delicti has sometimes been used to denote the dead body itself. The corpus delicti is made up of two things: first, certain facts forming its basis; and secondly, the existence of criminal agency as the cause of them. In the case of a felonious homicide it consists of two substantial and fundamental facts: first, the fact of the death of the deceased; and second, the fact of the existence of criminal agency as the cause of the death. The first of these constituents is always required to be proved either by direct testimony or by presumptive evidence of the strongest kind, and the second of these constituents becomes a proper subject of presumptive reasoning upon all the facts and circumstances of the case. A dead body or its remains having been discovered and Identified as that of the person charged to have been killed, and the basis of the corpus
30
delicti having been thus established, the next step in the process and the one which serves to complete the proof of that indispensable preliminary fact is to show that the death has been occasioned by the criminal act or agency of another person.

HYPOTHECA. To put under; a putting under; a subjecting to an obligation or encumbrance; the right or obligation arising from the pledge of property where there is no actual delivery.

Under the ciTil law the term was used to denote a pledge or mortgage as distinguished from
Ql
pigntts. See Planus. Such an hypothecs was either express or implied; express, where the parties upon the occasion of a loan entered, into an agreement to that effect; or implied, in the ease of the stock and utensils of a farm, which were subject to the lender's lien for rent. The word closely corresponds to the modern idea of a mortgage. There is no pure hypotheca in our law. Approaches to it, however, are found in bottomry bonds (see Bottomby Bonds), maritime liens, and seamen's wages. The word has suggested the term "hypothecate" as used in the mercantile and maritime law of England. Thus, under the Factor's Act, goods are frequently said to be "hypothecated"; and a captain is said to have a right to " hypothecate " his vessel for necessary repairs. See Bottomry.

IMPARLANCE. Time to plead; allowance of time for a party to answer the pleadings of hie opponent; the continuance or postponement of a
Literally the term signified leave given to the parties to talk together with a view to settling their differences amicably.
Under the common law imparlance meant leave to delay putting in a plea to the declaration, or other responsive pleading, until a future day, founded on the representation or fiction that the applicant desired time to negotiate for a compromise.
General imparlance is the entry of a general prayer and allowance of time to plead till the next term, without reserving to the defendant the benefit of an exception, so that after such an imparlance the defendant cannot object to the jurisdiction of the court, or plead any matter in abatement. This kind of imparlance is always from one term to another.
Special imparlance reserves to the defendant all exceptions to the writ, bill, or count, and contains the clause " saving to himself all advantages and exceptions, as well to the writ as the declaration aforesaid."
General special imparlance contains a saving of all exceptions whatsoever, so that the defendant after this may plead not only in abatement, but he may also plead a plea which affects the jurisdiction of the court, as privilege. He cannot, however, plead a tender, and that he was always ready to pay, because by craving time he admits that he is not ready, and so falsifies his plea.

This distinction arose out of the ancient common law, where conveyances were made either by matter in pais, or deed, by two or more persons upon the very spot to be transferred; or by matter of record in the public courts of record. See Estoppel in Pais. IN PARI DELICTO. In equal fault; in equal wrongdoing; equal in guilt; equally culpable; equally criminal.

The term ia used of a right resting in a purely personal obligation and of proceedings to enforce a right by judgment binding only on the party proceeded against.
Used In contradistinction to " in rem." See Ik Rem. As applied to rights the terms have come to mean the antitheses of " available against a particular person" and " available against the world at large." The terms are sometimes used to signify that a judicial proceeding operates on a person or thing. Thus, ft is said that a court of equity acts in personam and not in rem, meaning that its decrees operate by com-
SUing a party to do what he is ordered and not producing the effect directly.
IN POSSE. In possibility ¦ having a possible but not an actual existence; in a potential state of being; not yet actually existing; but ready to come into being when certain conditions are fulfilled.

INQUIRENDUM. To be inquired into.
IN QUO. In which. See Locus is Quo.
IN RE. In a thing; in the matter of; in the affair; in regard to. See Jus in Re. The usual way of entitling a judicial proceeding in which there are no adversary parties, but merely some "res" (see Res] concerning which judicial action is sought. The term is frequently applied to proceedings concerning an estate and matters of public interest in which a lejral remedy is required. It is also used to designate a proceeding where a party makes application on his own behalf, although such proceedings are more usually entitled "ex pane." See Ex Paste.
IN REM Against the thing; with respect to a thing; directed to a thing; related to property. See Jus is Rem. Used to designate proceedings or actions instituted against the thing, in contradistinction to personal actions, which are said to be " in per-eonam." See In Pebbonam. Judgment in rem. See 23 Cyc. 1406 et seq,. Various definitions have heen given of a judgment in rem, but all are criticized as either incomplete, or comprehending too much. It is gener-allv said to be a judgment declaratory of the status (see Status) of some subject-matter,
70
whether this be a person or a thing. Thus, the probate ot a will fixes the status of the document as a will. The personal rights and interests which follow are mere incidental results of the status or character of the paper, and do not appear on the face of the judgment. So, a decree establishing or dissolving a marriage is a judgment in rem, because it fixes the status of the person. A judgment of forfeiture, by the proper tribunal against specific articles of goods, for a violation of the revenue laws, is a judgment in rem. But it is objected that the customary definition does not fit such a case, because there is no fixing of tbe status of anything, the whole effect being a seizure, whatever the thing may be. In the foregoing instances, and many others, the judgment is conclusive against all trie world, without reference to actual presence or participation in the proceedings. If the expression " strictly in rem " may be applied to any class of cases, it should be confined to such as these. A very able writer says: "The distinguishing characteristic of judgments in rem is that, wherever their obligation is recognized and enforced as against any person, it is equally recognized and enforced as against all persons. It seems to us that the true definition of a judgment in rem is, 'an adjudication' against some person or thing, or ' upon the status of some subject-matter,' which, wherever and whenever binding upon any person, is equally binding upon all persons." Per Lewis, P. J., in Bartero v. Real Estate Sav. Bank, 10 Mo. App. 76, 78.
