A quick definition of denizen:

A denizen is a person who lives in a foreign country and has certain rights there. It can also refer to someone in English law who is not a citizen but has some legal status.

Denman's Act is a law in England that either allowed witnesses to testify even if they had a criminal past or were involved in the case, or it allowed defense lawyers to present evidence in a criminal trial that was previously only allowed in civil trials.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Denizen refers to a person who has been given certain rights in a foreign nation or who habitually lives in a foreign nation. In English law, it refers to a person who holds a position between being an alien and a natural-born or naturalized subject.

  • An American citizen who has been granted permanent residency in Canada is considered a denizen of Canada.
  • In English law, a denizen is a person who is allowed to own property and engage in trade, but cannot hold public office or vote in elections.

These examples illustrate how denizen is used to describe a person who has a certain legal status in a foreign country. It can refer to someone who has been granted certain rights, but is not a full citizen of that country.

Definition: Denman's Act refers to two different laws in English legal history. The first was the Evidence Act of 1843, which allowed witnesses to testify even if they had a criminal record or an interest in the proceedings. The second was the Criminal Procedure Act of 1865, which gave defense counsel more rights in criminal trials.

Denman's Act was an important step forward in English legal history, as it helped to ensure that all witnesses could be heard in court, regardless of their background or past actions.
