He who makes a release. RELEGATIO (Lat.) A kind of banishment known to the civil law, which did not take away the rights of citizenship, which deportatio did. Some say that relegatio was temporary, deportatio perpetual; that relegatio did not take away the property of the exile, and that deportatio did; but these distinctions do not seem always to exist. There was one sort of relegatio for slaves, viz., in a,gros; another for freedom, viz., in provincias. Relegatio only exiled from certain limits; deportatio confined to a particular place (locus poenae). Calv. Lex. RELEGATION (from Lat. relegatio, q. v.) In old English law. Banishment for a time only.
