Implead

In practice. To sue or prosecute by due course of law. 9 Watts (Pa.) 47. IMPLEADED (Lat. implaeitatus). Sued or prosecuted. Still used in practice. The word is not synonymous with the expression "et al.," but when used in formal pleadings and in court records the word "impleaded" is properly used following the name of a defendant when there is more than one defendant and only one defendant appears, to designate that there are defendants other than the defendant who is then present in court. In actions where there are more defendants than one and one answers, his name is sometimes stated thus in the title of his answer or plea: "Richard Roe, impleaded with John Doe," signifying that the two are sued together but one only interposed the plea. 260 111. 518, 519. IMPLEMENTS (Lat. impleo, to fill). Such things as are used or employed for a trade, or furniture of a house. 11 Mete. (Mass.) 82. Whatever may supply wants. Particularly applied to tools, utensils, vessels, instruments of labor; as, the implements of trade which the work cannot be performed. Also, the furniture of a house, as all household goods and implements, such as tables, presses, cupboards, etc. Termes de la Ley; Jacob; Tomlins; Williams.
