freezing temperatures such storms have various local
names, as blizzard, wet norther, purga, buran,
etc.

Usage: Storm, Tempest. Storm is violent agitation, a
commotion of the elements by wind, etc., but not

those common on the coast of Italy, where the term
originated, and is usually attended by a heavy rain,
with lightning and thunder.

COMPURGATOR
(bouvier) | COMPURGATOR. Formerly, when a person was accused of a crime, or sued in a
civil action, he might purge himself upon oath of the accusation made
against him, whenever the proof was not the most clear and positive; and if
upon his oath he declared himself innocent, he was absolved.
2. This usage, so eminently calculated to encourage perjury by
impunity, was soon found to be dangerous to the public safety. To remove
this evil the laws were changed, by requiring that the oath should be
administered with the greatest solemnity; but the form was soon disregarded,
for the mind became. easily familiarized to those ceremonies which at first
imposed on the imagination, and those who cared not to violate the truth did
not hesitate to treat the form with contempt. In order to give a greater
weight to the oath of the accused, the law was again altered so as to
require that the accused should appear before the judge with a certain
number of his neighbors, relations or friends, who should swear that they
believed the accused had sworn truly. This new species of witnesses were
called compurgators.
3. The number of compurgators varied according to the nature of the
charge and other circumstances. Encyclopedie, h.t.. Vide Du Cange, Gloss.
voc. Juramentum; Spelman's Gloss. voc. Assarth; Merl. Rep. mot Conjurateurs.
4. By the English law, when a party was sued in debt or simple
contract, @detinue, and perhaps some other forms of action, the defendant
might wage his law, by producing eleven compurgators who would swear they
believed him on his oath, by which he discharged himself from the action in
certain cases. Vide 3 Bl. Com. 341-848; Barr. on the Stat. 344; 2 Inst. 25;
Terms de la Ley; Mansel on Demurrer, 130, 131 Wager of Law.
|
PURGATION
(bouvier) | PURGATION. The clearing one's self of an offence charged, by denying the
guilt on oath or affirmation.
2. There were two sorts of purgation, the vulgar, and the canonical.
3. Vulgar purgation consisted in superstitious trials by hot and cold
water, by fire, by hot irons, by batell, by corsned, &c., which modes of
trial were adopted in times of ignorance and barbarity, and were impiously
called judgments of God.
4. Canonical purgation was the act of justifying one's self, when
accused of some offence in the presence of a number of persons, worthy of
credit, generally twelve, who would swear they believed the accused. See
Compurgator; Wager of Law.
5. In modern times, a man may purge himself of an offence, in some
cases where the facts are within his own knowledge; for example, when a man
is charged with a contempt of court, he may purge himself of such contempt,
by swearing that in doing the act charged, he did not intend to commit a
contempt.
