A quick definition of manucaption:
Term: MANUCAPTION
Definition: Manucaption is a word from history that has two meanings. The first meaning is MAINPRISE, which is a legal term that means someone is released from prison if they promise to come back to court. The second meaning is a writ, which is like a letter from a judge, that orders someone to bring a person who is accused of a crime to court.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Manucaption (man-yoo-kap-shun) is a historical term that refers to two things:
- Mainprise: A type of bail in which a person is released from custody on the condition that they will return to court for trial.
- Writ of Manucaption: A legal order that requires someone to bring an alleged criminal to court.
Examples:
- When John was arrested for theft, his family had to provide manucaption to secure his release from jail until his trial.
- The judge issued a writ of manucaption to the police, ordering them to bring the suspect to court for his arraignment.
These examples illustrate how manucaption was used in the past to ensure that people accused of crimes could be released from jail before their trial, as long as they promised to return to court. It was also used to compel people to bring alleged criminals to court to face justice.
