Calendar

An almanac. Julius Caesar ordained that the Roman year should consist of three hundred and sixty-five days, except every fourth year, which should contain three hundred and sixty-six, — ^the additional day to be reckoned by counting the 24th day of February (which was the 6th of the calends of March ) twice. See "Bissextile." This period of time exceeds the solar year by eleven minutes, or thereabouts, which amounts to the error of a day in about one hundred and thirty-one years. In 1582 the error amounted to eleven days or more, which was corrected by Pope Gregory. Out of this correction grew the distinction between Old and New Style. The Gregorian or New Style was introduced into England in 1752; the 2d day of September (O. S.) of that year being reckoned as the 14th day of September (N. S.) In Criminal Law. A list of prisoners, containing their names, the time when they were committed, and by whom, and the cause of their commitments. 4 Bl. Comm. 403. In Practice. A list of cases arranged for trial or argument in court.
