The wo Ms "constraint " and " restraint " are so nearly alike in meaning, that to use restraint instead of constraint in a certificate of a wife's acknowledgment does not vitiate. Edmondson r.
Harris, 2 Term. Ch. 427.
The terms " restraint " and " detention of princes," as used in policies of marine insurance, have the same meaning, — that of the effect of superior force, operating directly on the vessel. So long as a ship is under restraint, so long she is detained; and whenever she is detained, she is under restraint.
Richardson v. Maine Ins. Co., 6 Mass. 102.
