The foregoing are the most important of the numerous senses in which this very common particle occurs in the language of the old law, and in technical phrases still in use. In the titles of the old English statutes, and of writs original and judicial, as well as in the ordinary formulae of the courts, its prevailing sense is of, that is, ahout, concerning or respecting. Another very common use of it, (as of the law French de,) is to express the genitive case, either where the words employed do not admit of the necessary inflection for that purpose, or where it was supposed to convey the meaning with greater aptness and precision. The examples of the different significations are taken, it will be seen, almost without exception from Bracton, whose style may be considered as exhibitmg the purest specimen of legal Latinity to be met with among the ancient writers on the law of England.
