The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary

In Spanish law. A term applicable to the contract or writing by which courts of justice are empowered to execute and carry into effect a contract in the same manner as if it were decreed by the court after the usual legal formalities. This clause, though formerly inserted in contracts of sale, etc., stipulating the payment of a sum of money, is at present usually omitted, as courts of justice ordinarily compel the parties to execute all contracts made by authentic acts, that is, acts passed before a notary, in the presence of two witnesses. GUARNIMENTUM (Law Lat. from Fr. gamement). In old European law. A provision of necessary things.

Spelman.

A furnishing or garnishment.
