Fortiori
Fortiori or a fortiori. An epithet for any conclusion or inference, which is much stronger than another. "If it be so, in a feoffment passing a new right, a fortiori, much more is it for the restitution of an ancient right."
Conclusion
1) Practice. Making the last argument or address to the court or jury. 2) remedies. An estoppel; a bar; the act of a man by which he has confessed a matter or thing which he can no longer deny.
Inference
1) A conclusion drawn by reason from premises established by proof. 2) It is the province of the judge who is to decide upon the facts to draw the inference. When the facts are submitted to the court, the judges draw the inference; when they are to be ascertained by a jury, it is their duty to do so. The witness is not permitted as a general rule to draw an inference, and testify that to the court or jury. It is his duty to state the facts simply as they occurred.
Feoffment
1) The gift of a feud; infeudation. 2) The gift of any corporeal hereditament by delivery of possession upon or within view of the land.
Right
1) Sometimes it signifies a law, as when we say that natural right requires us to keep our promises, or that it commands restitution, or that it forbids murder. In our language it is seldom used in this sense. 2) It sometimes means that quality in our actions by which they are denominated just ones. This is usually denominated rectitude. 3) It is that quality in a person by which he can do certain actions, or possess certain things which belong to him by virtue of some title. In this sense, we use it when we say that a man has a right to his estate or a right to defend himself.
Restitution
1) Maritime law. The placing back or restoring articles which have been lost by jettison; this is done when the remainder of the cargo has been saved at the general charge of the owners of the cargo; but when the remainder of the goods are afterwards lost, there is not any restitution. 2) Practice. The return of something to the owner of it, or to the person entitled to it.
