A half-mark is a type of money that was used in the past. It was equal to six shillings and eight pence. In legal cases, a half-mark had to be given to force the person making the claim to prove that they had the right to do so. This was called a writ of right.

Definition: Half-mark is a term used in historical legal documents. It refers to a sum of money equal to six shillings and eight pence. In a writ of right, the demandant was required to tender half-mark to force them to prove seisin.

Example: In medieval England, if someone wanted to claim ownership of a piece of land, they would have to file a writ of right. To do so, they had to pay half-mark to the court. This payment was meant to ensure that the claimant had a legitimate right to the land and was not making a false claim.
