To send back, as, a record to an inferior court.

3.

To relinquish, give up, as, damages awarded. The right of the trial court, in the exercise of a sound discretion, when it deems a verdict excessive, the result of ignorance, passion or prejudice on the part of the jury, to refuse a new trial, upon condition that the prevailing party remit such a sum as shall leave the recovery not excessive, has often been exercised.* See Remittitur, 1.

Remitter.

At common law, a redress by operation of law: where one who has right to lands, but is out of possession, has afterward the freehold cast upon him by some subsequent defective title, and enters by virtue of that title. ^ The law sends him back to his ancient, more certain title.'
