He has the risk who has the right of property or advantage. EJUS NULLA CULPA EST CUI PARERE necesse sit. No guilt attache? to him who is compelled to obey. Dig. 50. 17. 169. EJUSDEM GENERIS (Lat.) Of the same kind. In the construction of laws, wills, and other instruments, when certain things are enumerated, and then a phrase is used which might be construed to include other things, it is generally confined to things ejusdem generis. Thus, "clerical or other defects" includes only formal defects (40 Barb. [N. Y.] 574), and a statute providing for relief to women whose husbands fail to support them "from drunkenness, profligacy, or any other cause," means only causes of similar nature, and does not include physical incapacity. 20 Wis. 682. ELABORARE (Law Lat.)

In old European law. To gain, acquire, or purchase, as by labor and industry. Elaboratus, property acquired by labor. Spelman.
