A quick definition of bracery:

Term: BRACERY

Definition: Bracery is an old practice that involved selling fake rights or ownership of land. This was against the law and was made illegal by a statute called 32 Hen. 8, ch. 9. Another word for bracery is embracery.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Bracery is a historical term that refers to two different offenses:

The act of selling fake rights or title to land, which was illegal and punishable by law.
The act of corruptly influencing a juror or witness in a legal case, also known as embracery.

For example, in the past, some people would try to sell land that they didn't actually own or have any legal claim to. This was considered bracery and was against the law. Additionally, if someone tried to bribe a juror or witness in a court case, that would also be considered bracery.

These examples illustrate how bracery was a term used to describe illegal and unethical behavior related to land ownership and the legal system.
