Tories
(gcide) | Tory \To"ry\, n.; pl. Tories. [ Properly used of the Irish
bogtrotters who robbed and plundered during the English civil
wars, professing to be in sympathy with the royal cause;
hence transferred to those who sought to maintain the extreme
prerogatives of the crown; probably from Ir. toiridhe, tor, a
pursuer; akin to Ir. & Gael. toir a pursuit.]
1. (Eng. Politics) A member of the conservative party, as
opposed to the progressive party which was formerly called
the Whig, and is now called the Liberal, party; an earnest
supporter of existing royal and ecclesiastical authority.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The word Tory first occurs in English history in 1679,
during the struggle in Parliament occasioned by the
introduction of the bill for the exclusion of the duke
of York from the line of succession, and was applied by
the advocates of the bill to its opponents as a title
of obloquy or contempt. The Tories subsequently took a
broader ground, and their leading principle became the
maintenance of things as they were. The name, however,
has for several years ceased to designate an existing
party, but is rather applied to certain traditional
maxims of public policy. The political successors of
the Tories are now commonly known as Conservatives.
--New Am. Cyc.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Amer. Hist.) One who, in the time of the Revolution,

INTERROGATORIES
(bouvier) | INTERROGATORIES. Material and pertinent questions, in writing, to necessary
points, not confessed, exhibited for the examination of witnesses or persons
who are to give testimony in the cause.
2. They are either original and direct on the part, of him who produces
the witnesses, or cross and counter, on behalf of the adverse party, to
examine witnesses produced on the other side. Either party, plaintiff or
defendant, may exhibit original or cross interrogatories.
3. The form which interrogatories assume, is as various as the minds of
the persons who propound them. They should be as distinct as possible, and
capable of a definite answer; and they should leave no loop-holes for
evasion to an unwilling witness. Care must be observed to put no leading
questions in original interrogatories, for these always lead to
inconvenience; and for scandal or impertinence, interrogatories will, under
certain Circumstances, be suppressed. Vide Will. on Interrogatories, passim;
