A more thorough explanation:

RESCUSSU

Rescussu is a legal term that refers to a writ that was used in the past when cattle were taken away or people were arrested, and then rescued. The term comes from the Law Latin phrase "de rescussu," which means "of rescue."

One example of the use of rescussu is when a farmer's cows were taken away by a landlord for not paying rent. If the farmer then went and rescued the cows, the landlord could use a writ of rescussu to try to get the cows back.

Another example is when a person was arrested by a sheriff and then rescued by their friends. The sheriff could use a writ of rescussu to try to bring the person back into custody.

These examples illustrate how rescussu was used in the past to protect the rights of landlords and law enforcement officials when their property or prisoners were taken away by force.
