The word " supplies," in parliamentary proceedings, signifies the sums of money which are annually voted by the house of commons for the maintenance of the crown, and the various branches of the public service. The right of originating a grant of supplies is vested in the house of commons; and the exercise of this right is practically a law for the annual meeting of parliament for redress of grievances. But a grant from the commons is not effectual in law, without the ultimate assent of the queen and of the house of lords. May Pari. Pract. ch. 21; Brown. supplies. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co. «.

Engl. law. Extra- with a condition that the accused ordinary grants to the king by par- shall keep the peace towards all the liament, to supply the exigencies of citizens of the commonwealth. A tion that the accused shall be of good behaviour. This security may be demanded by a court or officer having jurisdiction from all persons who threaten to kill or to injure others, or who by their acts give reason to believe they will commit a breach of the peace. And even after an acquittal a prisoner may be required to give security of the peace or good behaviour, when the circumstances of the case justify a court in believing the public good requires it. 2 Yeates, R. 437; Bac.
