Benjamin Vaughan Abbott · 1879

A name formerly applied to a jury impanelled on an assise in a real action; because, says Jacob, they acknowledge a disseisin by their verdict. The word is sometimes met in modern books, as meaning the person who enters into a recognizance, being thus another form of recognizor.
