Mise

The principal use of this ■word is, in the old law of pleading, to signify the issue joined in a real action, particularly in a writ of right. Other meanings are given. Mise signities a gift or customary present formerly made by the people of Wales to a new king or prince, on his entrance into that principality; a tax or tallage; costs and expenses; a writ of right so Bailed; the issue in a writ of right; cast, or put upon; a messuage or tenement. Mozley If TV. Mise is a law term signifying expenses, and it is so commonly used in the entries of judgments, in personal actions; as, when the plaintiff recovers, the judgment is quod recuperet damna sua to such a value, and pro misis et custagiis, for costs and charges, so much, &c. It has another signification, as a word of art, appropriated to a writ of right, so called because both parties have put themselves upon the mere right, to be tried upon the grand assise; so that what in all other actions is called an issue in a writ of right is termed a mise; but if in the writ of right a collateral point be tried, there it is called an issue. To join the mise upon the mere right is as much as to say to join the mise upon the clear right; i.e., to join upon this point, which hath the more right, the tenant or demandant. Jc Kob.
