The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary

In pleading. After traversing any allegation in pleading, it is usual to say, "in manner and form as he has in his declaration in that behalf alleged," which is as much as to include in in which it is stated by the other party. These words, however, only put in issue the substantial statement of the manner of the fact traversed, and do not extend to the time, place, or other circumstances attending it, if they were not originally material and necessary to be proved as laid.

3 Bouv. Inst. 297.

See "Modo et Forma." ■ MANN I RE. To cite kny person to appear in court and stand in_ judgment there. It is different from bannire; for, though both of them are citations, this is by the adverse party, and that is by the judge. Du Cange. MANNOPUS* (Lat.) An ancient word, which signifies goods taken in the hands of an apprehended thief.
