An advocate. See Bozero. ABOLITION (Lat. abolitio, from abolere, to utterly destroy). The extinguishment, abrogation, or annihilation of a thing. In the Civil, French and German law, abolition is used nearly synonymously with pardon, remission, grace.

Dig. 39. 4. 3. 3.

There is, however, this difference: grace is the generic term; pardon, according to those laws, Is the clemency which the prince extends to a man who has participated in a crime, without being a principal or accomplice; remission is made in cases of involuntary homicides, and self-defence. Abolition is different: it is used when the crime cannot be remitted. The prince then may, by leters of abolition, remit the punishment, but the infamy remains, unless letters of abolition have been obtained before sentence. Encycl. de D'Alembcrt.
