EJERCITORIA.
In Spanish Law. The action which lies against the owner of a vessel for debts contracted by the master, or contracts entered into by him, for the purpose of repairing, rigging, and victualling the same. EJUSDEM GENERIS (Lat). Of the same kind. In the construction of laws, wills, and other instruments, general words following an enumeration of specific things are usually restricted to things of the same kind (ejusdem generis) as those specifically enumerated. So, in the construction of wills, when certain articles are enumerated, the term goods is to be restricted to those ejusdem generis.
