Dictionary of Terms and Phrases Used in American or English Jurisprudence
An old English law term, nearly equivalent to our modern word receipt. It applied where any action was brought against a tenant for life or term of years, and the person in remainder or reversion came in and de la Ley; Cotvel. But the old real actions to which resceit applied are abolished, and the word has become obsolete.
