A Law Dictionary, Adapted to the Constitution and Laws of the United States
When a thing is to be done forthwith, it seems that it must be performed as soon as by reasonable exertion, confined to that object, it may be done. This is the import of the term; it varies course with every partcniee case.
4 Tyr. 837.
FORTIORI ora b fortiori, an epithet for any conclusion or inference, which is much stronger than another. “If it be so, in a feoffment, passing a new right, @ fortiori, much more is it for the restitution of an ancient right.”
Co. Litt. 253, 260.
