Estreat: A copy of a legal document, like a fine or punishment, that is taken from the official record and given to someone who needs to collect it. It's also called an "extract" in Scottish law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Estreat (e-street) refers to a copy or duplicate of an original writing or record, particularly of a fine or amercement imposed by a court. It is extracted from the record and certified to someone who is authorized and required to collect it. In Scots law, it is also known as extract.
