freomortel, sax.
In Saxon law. An immunity or freedom granted for committing murder, or manslaughter. From. As a word expressive of time, from is construed both inclusively and exclusively, though generally in the latter sense. The old rule was, that when used to denote the commencement of a term, as a lease from such a day, it was to be taken exclusively. But the day of a demise is now ordinarily considered as inclusive. In other cases, however, as where a party is allowed a certain time from ^ such a day, the old rule prevails, and the day is excluded. As expressive of place, from is always taken exclusively.
