Lien [answering to the tacita hypotheca of the Civil Law], a right in one man to retain that which is in his possession belonging to another, until certain demands of the person in possession are satisfied. It is neither a jus in re, nor a jus ad rem--i.e., it is not a right of property in the thing itself, or right of action to the thing itself.It is either particular, as a right to retain a thing for some charge or claim growing out of, or connected with, the identical thing; or general, as a right to retain a thing not only for such charges or claims, but also for a general balance of accounts between the parties in respect to other dealings of the like nature.General and particular liens may arise: (1) by an express contract; (2) by an implied contract, resulting from the usage of trade, or the manner of dealing between parties. General lines are not favoured in law, but some judicially recognized general lines are bankers', solicitors', factors', stockbrokers'. See Halsb. L.E., ti...

An action of debt lay where a person claimed the recovery of a liquidated or certain sum of money affirmed to be due to him; and it was generally founded on some contract alleged to have taken place between the parties, or on some matter of fact from which the law would imply a contract between them. This was debt in the debet, which was the principal and only common form. There is another species mentioned in the books, called debt in the detinet, which lay for the specific recovery of goods, under a contract to deliver them. An action of debt as a technical term is now obsolete. See PLEADINGS. The order of the payment of debts and expenses out of legal assets in an ordinary administration action in the Chancery Division of the High Court is as follows:-1. Funeral expenses, which in the case of an insolvent estate must be strictly reasonable and necessary only, the executor or administrator being personally liabl...
