Civil Law
Civil Law, that rule of action which every particular nation, commonwealth, or city has established peculiarly for itself, more properly distinguished by the name of municipal law.The term 'civil law' is now chiefly applied to that which the Romans complied from the laws of nature and nations.The 'Roman Law'and the 'Civil Law' are convertible phrases, meaning the same system of jurisprudence; it is now frequently denominated 'the Roman Civil Law.'The collections of Roman Civil Law, before its reformation in the sixth century of the Christian era by the eastern Emperor Justinian, were the following:--(1) Leges Regi'. These laws were for the most part promulgated by Romulus, Numa Pompilius and Servius Tullius. To Romulus are ascribed the formation of a constitutional government, and the imposition of a fine, instead of death, for crimes; Numa Pompilius composed the laws relating to religion and divine worship, and abated the rigour of subsisting laws; and Servius Tullius, the sixth king,...

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...
