An actual homicide or manslaughter. DEDI (Lat. I have given.) A word used in deeds and other instruments of conveyance when such instruments were made in Latin. The use of this word formerly carried with it a warranty in law, when in a deed; for example, if in a deed it was said, "dedi (I have given), etc., to A. B.," there was a warranty to him and his heirs. Brooke, Abr, "Guaranty," pi. 85. The warranty thus wrought was a special warranty, extending to the heirs of the feoffee during the life of the donor only. Co. Litt. 384b; 4 Coke, 81; 5 Coke, 17. Dedi is said to be the aptest in some of the Saxon grants. 1 Spence, Eq. Jur. 44. DEDI ET CONCESSI (Lat. I have given and granted). The aptest words to work a feoffment. They are the words ordinarily used, when instruments of conveyance were in Latin, in charters of feoffment, gift, or grant. These words were held the aptest, though others would answer. Co. Litt. 384b; 1 Steph. Comm. 114; 2 Bl. Comm. 53, 316.
