ACQUITTAL
(bouvier) | ACQUITTAL, contracts. A release or discharge from an obligation or
engagement. According to Lord Coke there are three kinds of acquittal,
namely; 1. By deed, when the party releases the obligation; 2. By
prescription; 3. By tenure. Co. Lit. 100, a.
ACQUITTAL, crim. law practice. The absolution of a party charged with a
crime or misdemeanor.
2. Technically speaking, acquittal is - the absolution of a party
accused on a trial before a traverse jury. 1 N. & M. 36; 3 McCord, 461.
3. Acquittals are of two kinds, in fact and in law. The former takes
place when the jury upon trial finds a verdict of not guilty; the latter
when a man is charged merely as an accessary, and the principal has been
acquitted. 2 Inst. 384. An acquittal is a bar to any future prosecution for
the offence alleged in the first indictment.

ACQUITTANCE
(bouvier) | ACQUITTANCE, contracts. An agreement in writing to discharge a party from an
engagement to pay a sum of money. It is evidence of payment. It differs from
a release in this, that the latter must be under seal, while an acquittance
need not be under seal. Poth. Oblig. n. 781. In Pennsylvania, a receipt,
(q.v.) though not under seal, has nearly the same effect as a release. 1
Rawle, R. 391. Vide 3 Salk. 298, pl. 2; Off. of Ex. 217 ; Co. Litt. 212 a,
273 a.

AUTREFOIS ACQUIT
(bouvier) | AUTREFOIS ACQUIT, crim. law, pleading. A plea made by a defendant, indicted
for a crime or misdemeanor, that he has formerly been tried and acquitted of
the same offence. See a form of this plea in Arch. Cr. Pl. 90.
2. To be a bar, the acquittal must have been by trial, and by the
verdict of a jury on a valid indictment. Hawk. B. 2, c. 25, s. 1; 4 Bl. Com.
335. There must be an acquittal of the offence charged in law and in fact.
Stark. Pl. 355; 2 Swift's Dig. 400 1 Chit. Cr. Law, 452; 2 Russ. on Cr. 41.
3. The Constitution of the U. S., Amend. Art. 5, provides that no
person shall be subject for the same offence to be put twice in jeopardy of
life or limb. Vide generally, 12 Serg. & Rawle, 389; Yelv. 205 a, note.
