Note
Why Latin is used for the name of writs (a) The reasons for having recourse on this occasion to a dead
language may be seen in Tit. [Composition]
(a) In English, "be known" [that is "make yourself known"]
"in order that you may have justice done upon You". His
evident that were this given as a name to any kind of instrument
or proceeding the length of it would render it
altogether preposterous and unfit for use. This is one reason
for quitting the vulgar tongue on occasions like this, and
recurring to a dead language ; the dead language in question
being more concise. Another reason is, that by putting so
much of the grammatical sentence as contains the name
of the instrument on proceeding in question into a different
language it is the better distinguished from the
rest of the sentence. This same plan of nomenclature may
be extended to the signifying whatever is to be done together
with the purpose for which it is to be done. On the same principles
therefore we may speak of a judicaturus, executurus, testaturus, venias,
maneas, redeas, eas. —
