writ of mainprise

Read a random definition: credentials committee

A quick definition of writ of mainprise:

A writ of mainprise is a legal document that allows a prisoner to be released from jail if someone promises to make sure they show up in court on a specific date and time. This person is called a mainpernor and they are responsible for the prisoner's appearance. The writ of mainprise is a way for the sheriff to release a prisoner while still ensuring that they will show up for their court date.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A writ of mainprise is a legal document that orders the release of a prisoner from jail, provided that a surety (mainpernor) takes responsibility for the prisoner's appearance in court on a specified date and time. The suretyship undertaking makes the surety responsible for the prisoner's appearance in court.

Examples:

  • John was arrested for theft and was granted a writ of mainprise. His friend, Tom, acted as his mainpernor and took responsibility for John's appearance in court.
  • Mary was arrested for a traffic violation and was granted a writ of mainprise. Her father, who was a lawyer, acted as her mainpernor and took responsibility for her appearance in court.

These examples illustrate how a writ of mainprise works. In both cases, the prisoners were released from jail on the surety of a mainpernor. The mainpernors took responsibility for the prisoners' appearance in court, ensuring that they would show up on the specified date and time.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
