In practice

The result of a judicial examination or inquiry; the fiftateraent to a court of such result. This term is most commonly applied to the making up and delivery, by a jury, of their verdict. See Verdict, But Lord Coke applies it to the judgment of the court itself. " There is one finding by the jury and another by the judges, and when the defendant confesses it, <S^., the judges^ne/ sufficient matter before them to give judgment."
