Relating to or of the nature of escheat, forfeiture or confiscation. 2 Bla_ Com. 245. C/£SARIAN OPERATION. A surgical operation whereby the fcetus, which can neither make its way into the world by the ordinary and natural passage, nor be extracted by the attempts of art, whether the mother and fcetus be yet alive, or whether either of them be dead, is by a cautious and well-timed operation taken from the mother with a view to save the lives of both, or either of them. If this operation be performed after the mother's death, the husband cannot be tenant by the curtesy; since his right begins from the birth of the issue, and is consummated by the death of the wife; but if mother and child are saved, then the husband would be entitled after her death. Wharton. C/ETERIS PARIBUS (Lat). Other things being equal. C/ETERORUM. See Administration.
