COGNOSCE. If you judge, understand. SI MELIORES SUNT QUOS DUCIT amor, plures sunt quos corrlgit timor. If those are better who are led by love, those are the greater number corrected by fear. Co. Litt. 392. SI NON APPAREAT QUID ACTUM EST erit consequens, ut id sequamur quod in regione in qua actum est, frequentatur. If It that which is the usage of the place where the agreement was made. Dig. 50. 17. 34. SI NON OMNES (Lat. if all cannot).

In English practice. A writ of association of justices whereby, if all in commission cannot meet at the day assigned, it is allowed that two or more may proceed with the business. Cowell; Pitzh. Nat. Brev. Ill (C), 186a; Reg. Orig. 202,206, SI NULLA SIT CONJECTURA QUAE DUcat alio, verba intelligenda sunt ex proprletate, non grammatlca sed popular! ex usu. If there be no inference which leads to a different result, words are to be understood according to their proper meaning, not in a grammatical, but in a popular and ordinary, sense. 2 Kent, Comm. 555. SI PLURES CONDITIONES ASCRIPtae fuerunt donation! conjunctim, omnibus est parendum; et ad veritatem copulative requlritur quod utraque pars sit vera, si divl- Sim, cuilibe't vel alter! eorum satis est obtemperare; et in disjunctivis, sufficit alteram partem esse veram. If some conditions are conjunctively written in a gift, the whole of them must be complied with; and with respect to their truth, it is necessary that every part be true, taken jointly; if the conditions are separate, it is sufficient to comply with either one or other of them; and being disjunctive, that one or the other be true. Co. Litt. 225.
