Lat. To the terror of the people. A technical phrase necessary in indictments for riots. 4 Car. A P. 373.
In testamentis plenius testatoris intentionem scrutamur. In wills we more especially seek out the Intention of the testator. 3 Bulst. 103; Broom, Max. 555.
In testamentis plenius voluntates testantium interpretantur. Dig. 50, 17, 12. In wills the intention of testators is more especially regarded. “That is to say,” says Mr. Broom, (Max., 568,) “a will will receive a more liberal construction than its strict meaning, if alone considered, would permit.”
In testamentis ratio tacita non debet considerari, sed verba solum spoetari debent, adeo per divinationem mentis a verbis reeedere durum est. In wills an unexpressed meaning ought not to be considered, but the words alone ought to be looked to; so hard is it to recede from the words by guessing at the intention.
