A quick definition of ac etiam:

Term: ac etiam

Definition: Ac etiam is a Latin phrase used in common-law pleading. It means "and also." In common-law cases, a fictitious claim had to be alleged to give the court jurisdiction. Ac etiam directed the court to the real cause of action. It introduced a genuine claim in a pleading. The officers of the king's bench used a clause of ac etiam to add a bill of debt to the usual complaint of trespass to remedy this inconvenience. The complaint of trespass gave cognizance to the court, and that of debt authorized the arrest.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: ac etiam
Definition: In common-law pleading, ac etiam means "and also." It was used to introduce a genuine claim in a case where a fictitious claim had to be alleged to give the court jurisdiction. This phrase directed the court to the real cause of action. For example, if someone was suing for trespassing, but also had a debt owed to them by the defendant, they would use ac etiam to add the debt claim to their case. This ensured that the court had jurisdiction over both claims and could make a ruling on them.
