Thayer, 49 Vt. 375 (1877). TECHiaCAL.i 1. Pertaining to an art, trade, science, profession, or vocation; artificial. Technical language is construed in the sense generally received in the business or calling to which the subject-matter relates, unless it is apparent that the words were understood in another sense. 3. As employed in law or jurisprudence; legal; opposed, in some relations, to actual and moral; as, technical or a technical — estoppel, fraud, malice, trust, qq. v. See further Aet, 3; CoNSTETJCTiON; Contract; Indictment; Statute; Will, 2; French; Latin. Technical culpability exists where a person transgresses a law without intending to do an unlawful act. Thus, the merest touching of another's person or clothing may amount to a battery, and be punishable as a crime. See also Fraud, Constructive. Teclinicalities are unintended applications of rules designed to give effect to principles imperfectly understood, and rigidly adhered to from fear that departure from them should relax legal rules in general... Once established, they are adhered to partly because they are looked upon as the outworks of the principles which they distort; partly from a perception of the truth that an inflexible adherence to established rules, even at the expense of particular hardships, is essential to the impartial odministi'ation of justice; and partly because to a certain kind of mind arbitrary rules are pleasant in themselves.. As long as the doctrines of any department of knowledge are supposed to be absolutely true, technicalities are devised and maintained by those who believe in the doctrines, and are treated as a reductio ad absurdum by those who deny their truth. Wider experience demonstrates that a technicality or absurd inference from an alleged truth shows not that the proposition from which it follows is wholly untrue, but only that it is imperfectly expressed. Technicalities thus mark the progress of knowledge. ' See Certainty.

As used in a statute prescribing the mode of passing when any wagon, carriage, &c., shall meet or overtake a team on the highway, means a vehicle, with the animals drawing it, used for carrying loads, as distinguished from one used for carrying persons. Hotchkiss v. Hoy, 41 Conn. 568. In a statute allowing recovery for damages to any person, or to his team or carriage, "team" is not confined to animals attached to and drawing a vehicle, but includes cattle or horses, in droves, driven along the highway. Elliott v. Lisbon, 57 N. H 27. A " team " by law exempt from execution may be either one or any number of animals, which a householder or head of a family uses in the business of providing for a family. Wilcox v. Hawley,.31 N. Y. 648; Becker r. Becker, 47 Barb. 497. A single horse may be deemed a team, within a statute exempting a debtor's team from execution, when kept and used as such; and, if a debtor owns one horse and uses him with another which he does not own, his horse is exempt. Lockwood v. Younglove, 27 Barb. 505; Hoyt v. Van Alstyne, 15 Id. 568; Wheeler v. Cropsey, 5 How. Pr. 288. A horse, harness, and cart, belonging to a public carman, are exempt from execution as a team. Harthouse ?;. Rikers, 1 Duer, 606; Eastman v. Caswell, 8 How. Pr. 75. That " team " cannot include a cart, see Morse v. Keyes, 6 How. Pr. 18. One horse or two horses, with their harness and the vehicle to which they are customarily attached for use, may be claimed exempt as a team. Brown v. Davis, 16 N. Y. Supreme Ct. 43. Team -work. In a statute exempting from execution two horses kept and used for team work, means work done by a team as a substantial part of a man's business, as in farming, staging, express carrying, drawing of freight, peddling, the transportation of material used or dealt in as a business. This is clearly distinguishable from what is circumstantial to one's business, as a matter of convenience in getting to and make collections, or to see persons for business purposes, and from family use and convenience, pleasure, exercise, or recrea^ tion. None of these uses of a horse are suggested by the expression. Hickok c, Thayer, 49 Vt. 372. Teamster. A person is a " teamster " who is engaged with his own team or teams in the business of teaming,; i.e., in the business of hauling freight for others for a consideration, by which he habitually supports himself, and his family, if he has one.
