[1913 Webster]
God and his Son except,
Created thing naught valued he nor . . . shunned.
--Milton.
Syn: Except, Excepting, But, Save, Besides.
Usage: Excepting, except, but, and save are exclusive. Except
marks exclusion more pointedly. "I have finished all
the letters except one," is more marked than "I have
finished all the letters but one." Excepting is the
same as except, but less used. Save is chiefly found
in poetry. Besides (lit., by the side of) is in the
nature of addition. "There is no one here except or
but him," means, take him away and there is nobody
present. "There is nobody here besides him," means, he
is present and by the side of, or in addition to, him
is nobody. "Few ladies, except her Majesty, could have
made themselves heard." In this example, besides
should be used, not except.

exception
(foldoc) | exception
An error condition that changes the normal flow of control
in a program. An exception may be generated ("raised") by
hardware or software. Hardware exceptions include
reset, interrupt or a signal from a {memory management
unit}. Exceptions may be generated by the {arithmetic logic
unit} or floating-point unit for numerical errors such as
divide by zero, overflow or underflow or {instruction
decoding} errors such as privileged, reserved, trap or
undefined instructions. Software exceptions are even more
varied and the term could be applied to any kind of error
checking which alters the normal behaviour of the program.
(1994-10-31)

returned to the user.
Examples of exception handler mechanisms are Unix's signal
calls and Lisp's catch and throw.

or an attempt to read memory outside of the program's {address
space}), may always cause control to pass to the operating
system without allowing the program an opportunity to handle
the error. The details depend on the language's {run-time
system} and the operating system.

exception
(devil) | EXCEPTION, n. A thing which takes the liberty to differ from other
things of its class, as an honest man, a truthful woman, etc. "The
exception proves the rule" is an expression constantly upon the lips
of the ignorant, who parrot it from one another with never a thought
of its absurdity. In the Latin, "_Exceptio probat regulam_" means
that the exception _tests_ the rule, puts it to the proof, not
_confirms_ it. The malefactor who drew the meaning from this
excellent dictum and substituted a contrary one of his own exerted an
evil power which appears to be immortal.

BILL OF EXCEPTION
(bouvier) | BILL OF EXCEPTION, practice. The statement in writing, of the objection made
by a party in a cause, to the decision of the court on a point of law,
which, in confirmation of its accuracy, is signed and sealed by the judge,
or court who made the decision. The object of the bill of exceptions is to
put the question of law on record, for the information of the court of error
having cognizance of such cause.
2. The bill of exception is authorized by the statute of Westminster 2,
13 Ed. I. c. 31, the principles of which have, been adopted in all the
states of the Union. It is thereby enacted, "when one impleaded before any
of the justices, alleges an exception praying they will allow it, and if
they will not, if he that alleges the exception writes the same, and
requires 'that the justices will put their seals, the justices shall do so,
and if one will not, another ,shall; and if, upon complaint made of the
justice, the king cause the record to come before him, and the exception be
not found in the roll, and the plaintiff show the written exception, with
the seal of the justices thereto put, the justice shall be commanded to
appear at a certain day, either to confess or deny his seal, and if he
cannot deny his seal, they shall proceed to judgment according to the
exception, as it ought to be allowed or disallowed." The statute extends to
both plaintiff and defendant. Vide the, form of confessing a bill of
exceptions, Burr. 1692. And for precedents see Bull. N. P. 317; Brownlow's
Entries; Latine Redivio, 129; Trials per pais, 222, 3; 4 Yeates, 317, 18; 2
Yeates, 295, 6. 485, 6; 1 Morgan's Vade Mecum, 471-5. Bills of exception
differ materially from special verdicts; 2 Bin. 92; and from the opinions of
the court filed in the cause. 10 S. & R. 114, 15.
3. Here will be considered, 1 the cases in which a bill of exceptions
may be had; 2. the time of making the exception; 3. the form of the bill; 4.
the effect of the bill.
4. - 1. In general a bill of exception can be had only in a civil case.
When in the course of the trial of a cause, the judge, either in his charge
to the jury, or in deciding an interlocutory question, mistakes the law, or
is supposed by the counsel on either. side, to have mistaken the law, the
counsel against whom the decision is made may tender an exception to his
opinion, and require him to seal a bill of exceptions. 3 Bl. Com. 372. See
Salk. 284, pl. 16 7 Serg. & Rawle, 178; 10 Id. 114, 115 Whart. Dig. Error,
D, E 1 Cowen, 622; 2 Caines, 168; 2 Cowen, 479 5, Cowen, 243 3 Cranch, 298 4
Cranch, 62; 6 Cranch, 226; 17 Johns. R. 218; 3 Wend. 418 9 Wend. 674. In
criminal cases, the judges, it seems, are not required to seal a bill of
exceptions. 1 Chit. Cr. Law, 622; 13 John. R. 90; 1 Virg. Cas. 264; 2 Watts,
R. 285; 2 Sumn. R. 19. In New York, it is provided by statute, that on the
trial of any indictment, exceptions to any decision of the court may be made
by the defendant, in the same cases and manner provided by law in civil
cases and a bill thereof shall be settled, signed and sealed, and filed with
the clerk of the court. But such bill of exception shall not stay or delay
the rendering of judgment, except in some specified cases. Grah. Pr. 768,
note.. Statutory provisions have been made in several other states
authorizing the taking of exceptions in criminal cases. 2 Virg. Cas. 60 and
note 14 Pick. R. 370; 4 Ham. R. 348; 6 Ham. R. 16 7 Ham. R. 214; 1 Leigh, R.
598; 14 Wend. 546. See also 1 Halst. R. 405; 2 Penn. R. 637.
5. - 2. The bill of exceptions must be tendered at the time the
decision complained of is made or if the exception be to the charge of the
court, it must be made before the jury have given their verdict. 8 S. & R.
216 4 Dall. 249; S. C. 1 Binn. 38; 6 John. 279; 1 John. 312; 5 Watts, R. 69;
10 John. R. 312; 5 Monr. R. 177; 7 Wend. R. 34; 7 S. & R. 219; 11 S. & R.
267 4 Pet. R. 102; Ala. R. 66; 1 Monr. 215 11 Pet. R. 185; 6 Cowen, R. 189.
In practice, however, the, point is merely noted, at the time, and the bill
is afterwards settled. 8 S. & R. 216; 11 S. & R. 270; Trials per pais, 467;
Salk. 288; Sir T. Ray. 405 Bull. N. P. 315-16; Jacob's Law Dict. They may be
sealed by the judge after the record has been removed by a writ of error,
and after the expiration of his office. Fitz. N. B. 21 N, note.
6. - 3. The bill of exception must be signed by the judge who tried the
cause; which is to be done upon notice of the time and place, when and where
it is to be done. 3 Cowen, 32; 8 Cowen, 766; Bull. N. P. 316 3 Bl. Com. 372.
When the bill of exception is sealed, both parties are concluded by lit. 3
Dall. 38; Bull. N. P. 316.
7.- 4. The bill of exceptions, being part of the record, is evidence
between the parties, as to the facts therein stated. 3 Burr. 1765. No notice
can be taken of objections or exceptions not appearing on the bill. 8 East,
280; 3 Dall. 38, 422, n.; 2 Binn. 168. Vide, generally, Dunlap's Pr.; Grah.
Pr.; Tidd's Pr.; Chit. Pr.; Penna. Pr.; Archibold's Pr. Sellon's Pr.; in
their several indexes, h. t.; Steph. Pl. 111; Bac. Ab. h. t.; 1 Phil. Ev.

EXCEPTIO REI JUDICATAE
(bouvier) | EXCEPTIO REI JUDICATAE, civil law. The name of a plea by which the defendant
alleges that the matter in dispute between the parties has been before
adjudged. See Res judicata.

EXCEPTION
(bouvier) | EXCEPTION, Eng. Eq. practice. Re-interrogation. 2 Benth. Ev. 208, n.
EXCEPTION, legislation, construction. Exceptions are rules which limit the
extent of other more general rules, and render that just and proper, which
would be, on account of its generality, unjust and improper. For example, it
is a general rule that parties competent may make contracts; the rule that
they shall not make any contrary to equity, or contra bonos mores, is the
exception.
EXCEPTION, contracts. An exception is a clause in a deed,. by which the
lessor excepts something out of that which he granted before by the deed.
2. To make a valid exception, these things must concur: 1. The
exception must be by apt words; as, saving and excepting, &c. 2. It must be
of part of the thing previously described, and not of some other thing. 3.
It must be part of the thing only, and not of all, the greater part, or the
effect of the thing granted; an exception, therefore, in a lease, which
extends to the whole thing demised, is void. 4. It must be of such thing as
is severable from the demised premises, and hot of an inseparable incident.
5. It must be of a thing as he that accepts may have, and which properly
belongs to him. 6. It must be of a particular thing out of a general, and
not of a particular thing out of a particular thing. 7. It must be
particularly described and set forth; a lease of a tract of land, except one
acre, would be void, because that acre was not particularly described.
Woodf. Landl. and Ten. 10; Co. Litt. 47 a; Touchs. 77; 1 Shepl. R. 337;
Wright's R. 711; 3 John. R., 375 8 Conn. R. 369; 6 Pick. R. 499; 6 N. H.
Rep. 421. Exceptions against common right and general rules are construed as
strictly as possible. 1 Barton's Elem. Conv. 68.
3. An exception differs from a reservation; the former is always a part
of the thing granted; the latter is of a thing not in esse but newly created
or reserved. An exception differs also from an explanation, which by the use
of a videlicet, proviso, &c., is allowed only to explain doubtful clauses
precedent, or to separate and distribute generals, into particulars. 3 Pick.
R. 272.
EXCEPTION, practice, pleading. This term is used in the civil, nearly in the
same sense that the word plea has in the common law. Merl. Repert. h.t.;
Ayl. Parerg. 251.
2. In chancery practice, it is the allegation of a party in writing,
that some pleading or proceeding in a cause is insufficient. 1 Harr. Ch. Pr.
228.
3. Exceptions are dilatory or peremptory. Bract. lib. 5, tr. 5;
Britton, cap. 91, 92; 1 Lilly's Ab. 559. Dilatory exceptions are such as do
not tend to defeat the action, but only to retard its progress. Poth. Proc.
civ. partie 1, c. 2, s. 2, art. 1; Code of Pract. of Lo. art. 332.
Declinatory exceptions have this effect, as well as the exception of
discussion opposed by a third possessor, or by a surety in an hypothecary
action, or the exception taken in order to call in the warrantor. Id.; 7 N.
S. 282; 1 L. R. 38, 420. These exceptions must, in general, be pleaded in
limine litis before issue joined. Civ. Code of Lo. 2260; 1 N. S. 703; 2 N.
S. 389; 4 L. R. 104; 10 L. R. 546. A declinatory exception is a species of
dilatory exception, which merely declines the jurisdiction of the judge
before whom the action is brought. Code of Pr. of L. 334.
4. Peremptory exceptions are those which tend to the dismissal of the
action. Some relate to forms, others arise from the law. Those which relate
to forms, tend to have the cause dismissed, owing to some nullities in the
proceedings. These must be pleaded in limine litis. Peremptory exceptions
founded on law, are those which, without going into the merits of the cause,
show that the plaintiff cannot maintain his action, either because it is
prescribed, or because the cause of action has been destroyed or
extinguished. These may be pleaded at any time previous to definitive
judgment. Id. art. 343, 346; Poth. Proc. Civ. partie 1, c. 2, s. 1, 2, 3.
These, in the French law, are called Fins de. non recevoir. (q.v.)
5. By exception is also meant the objection which is made to the
decision of a judge in the course of a trial. See Bill of Exception.
