Dictionary of Terms and Phrases Used in American or English Jurisprudence

Benjamin Vaughan Abbott · 1879

Originally, one who gives a receipt. But the term has a special sense, in the practice established in many of the states, relative to goods seized on attachment. The officer, instead of retaining them in actual custody, delivers them to some person friendly to the debtor, who gives a receipt for them, thereby engaging that they shall be forthcoming to answer any final judgment and execution which plaintiff may recover. The correlative, receiptee, is not in use.
