The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
Walter A. Shumaker and George Foster Longsdorf; ed. James C. Cahill · 1922
A notice given by a buyer to a seller that the things which had been sold were claimed by another, in order that he might appear and justify the sale. Blount; Whishaw. The exact significance of this term is somewhat doubtful. If probably denoted, "notice," as defined above. The finder of stray cattle was not always entitled to it; for Spelman says: "As to strange (or stray) cattle, no one shall have them but with the consent of the hundred of tithingmen; unless he have one of these, we cannot allow him any cenninga (I think notice)." Spelman.
