A quick definition of manu aliena:

Term: MANU ALIENA

Definition: Manu aliena is a Latin term used in Scots law to mean "by the hand of another." It was often included in a notary's docket to indicate that the instrument of seisin was written by someone else. A docket is a formal record in which a judge or court clerk briefly notes all the proceedings and filings in a court case. It can also refer to a list of pending cases or a schedule of trials. In simpler terms, manu aliena means that someone else wrote something, and a docket is a record of what happens in a court case.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Manu aliena is a Latin term used in Scots law to mean "by the hand of another." It was often used by notaries to indicate that a legal document was written by someone else.

Example: A notary might write "manu aliena" at the end of an instrument of seisin, which is a legal document used to transfer ownership of land. This would indicate that the notary did not write the document themselves, but that it was written by someone else.

Explanation: The use of "manu aliena" was important in legal documents because it helped to establish the authenticity of the document. By indicating that the document was written by someone else, it made it clear that the notary was not responsible for any errors or inaccuracies in the document. This was particularly important in cases where disputes arose over the ownership of land or other property.
