Arrest [fr. restae, Lat.; arrestare, It.; arrester, Fr., to bring one to stand], the restraining of the liberty of a man's person in order to compel obedience to the order of a Court of Justice, or to prevent the commission of a crime, or to ensure that a person charged or suspected of a crime may be forthcoming to answer it. Arrests are either in civil or (see APPREHENSION) criminal cases; civil arrests must be affected, in order to be legal, by virtue of a precept or writ issue out of some Court. The law of civil arrest (see MESNE PROCESS), so far as it still exists, is regulated by the Debtors Act, 1869 (see that title),which abolished imprisonment for debt except in special cases, as where a debtor has the means to pay his debt but refuses to do so, and s. 218 of the Companies Act, 1929, as to the power to arrest an absconding contributory in case of winding up by the Court. see also CONTEMPT OF COURT. The two great statues for securing the liberty of the subject against unlawful a...

Army (UK)
Army (UK) [fr. armee, Fr.], the military force of a country. From1689 to 1879, the army was regulated by Annual Mutiny Acts usually expiring in April, and by the 'Articles of War' which those Acts empowered the sovereign to make.
