Read a random definition: drawing lots

A quick definition of writ of mesne:

A writ of mesne is a legal document used in the past to protect a tenant from being harassed by a higher-ranking landlord for rent that was already paid to a middleman landlord. It was also known as a de medio writ.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A writ of mesne is a legal term that refers to a writ against a middle lord to protect an undertenant from harassment by a higher lord for rent actually due from the middle lord.

For example, if a tenant rents a property from a middle lord, and the middle lord fails to pay rent to the higher lord, the higher lord may try to collect the rent from the tenant. In this case, the tenant can use a writ of mesne to protect themselves from harassment by the higher lord.

The writ of mesne is also known as de medio.
