Merchandise which is neither counted, weighed, nor measured. A sale by bulk is a sale of a quantity of goods such as they are, without measuring, counting, or weighing. La. Civ. Code, art. 3522, n. 6. As to contracts forbidding "sales in bulk" of a tradesman's entire stock, see Sales. BULL (Lat. bulla, a stud or boss). A letter from the pope of Rome, written on parchment, to which is attached a metal seal impressed with the images of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, on either side of a cross. On the other side of the seal is the name of the pope, with the year of his pontificate. See Seal; Bulls. There are three kinds of apostolical rescripts — the brief, the signature, and the bull; which last is most commonly used in legal matters. Bulls may be compared to the edicts and letters-patents of secular princes: when the bull grants a favor, the seal is attached by means of silken strings; and when to direct execution to be performed, with flax cords. Bulls are written in Latin, in a round and Gothic hand. Ayliffe, Par. 132; Ayliffe, Pand. 21; Merlin, Repert. BULL/E. Metal seals used, chiefly in the southern countries of Europe, in place of wax, which would be affected by heat; also used in other parts of Europe and even in England. Usually of lead, but sometimes of gold. Encycl. Br.
