William C. Anderson · 1889

See Police, 2; Welfare. SAID; AFORESAID. As employed in legal writings, convey certainty of reference. When a name, once introduced into a pleading, is repeated, the repetition must be by such a term of reference as will identify the person named in the latter instance as the one before named — as by " said," " aforesaid," or other term of similar import; otherwise the latter description will be ill for uncertainty. But when there are two or more antecedent persons or subjects to which the name may be referred, it is necessary to use '"first aforesaid," "last aforesaid," or other term of equivalent import.* " Said," in an entry, is a relative term, and refers to its next [nearest] antecedent."* But, in construing a will, there is no invariable rule which refers "said" to the last antecedent, if to so apply it would be at variance with the context." In an indictment, " said " will be referred to the next antecedent only when the meaning plainly requires it." See Such.
