OCTROI

Ft. In French law. Originally, a duty, which, by the permission of the seigneur, any city was accustomed to collect on liquors and some other goods, brought within its precincts, for the consumption of the Inhabitants. Afterwards appropriated to the use of the king. Steph. Lect. p. 361. Oderunt peccare boni, virtutis amoie; oderunt peccare mail, formidine poenee. Good men hate sin through love of virtue; bad men, through fear of punishment. ODHAIh Complete property, as opposed to feudal tenure. The transposition of the syllables of “odhal” makes It “allodh” and hence, according to Blackstone, arises the word “allod” or “allodial,” (q. v.) “Allodh” Is thus put in contradistinction to “feeodh.” Mozley & Whitley.
