Concord

An agreement, or supposed agreement, between the parties in levying a fine of lands, in which the deforciant (or he who keeps the- other out of possession) acknowledges that the lands in question are the right of the complainant, and from the acknowledgment or admission of right thus made, the party who levies the fine is called the "cognizor," and the person to whom it is levied, the "cognizee."
