half-seal

Read a random definition: somnambulism

A quick definition of half-seal:

A half-seal was a type of seal used in the Court of Chancery to mark commissions to the Court of Delegates on the appeal of an ecclesiastical or maritime case. This court served as the final court of appeal for admiralty and ecclesiastical matters and was established in 1534 to replace the Papal Curia. However, the Court's credibility was hindered by confused rulings and unreliable precedents, and it was ultimately abolished in 1833. The use of the half-seal ended when the Court of Delegates was abolished in 1832.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A court serving as the final court of appeal for admiralty and ecclesiastical matters. The Court was established in 1534 to serve in the stead of the Papal Curia when the English Church severed its ties with the Papacy. Six delegates, appointed to hear only one case, made up the Court, usually three persons trained in common law and three in civil law. This mixture led to confused rulings and unreliable precedents that hindered the Court's credibility and ultimately led to its dissolution. The Court was abolished in 1833 and its jurisdiction transferred to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Also termed High Court of Delegates.

For example, if someone wanted to appeal a decision made in an ecclesiastical or maritime case, they could request a commission to the Court of Delegates. The commission would be marked with a half-seal in the Court of Chancery. However, this practice ended when the Court of Delegates was abolished in 1832.
