Jus
Jus, law, right, equity, authority, and rule.A Roman 'magistratus' generally did not investigate the facts in dispute in such matters as were brought before him; he appointed a judex for that purpose, and gave him instructions. Accordingly, the whole procedure was expressed by the two phrases Jus and Judicium; of which the former comprehended all that took place before the magistratus (in jure), and the latter all that took place before the judex (in judicio). Originally, even the magistratus was called judex, as, for instance, the consul and pr'tor (Liv. iii. 55); and under the empire the term 'judex' often designated the pr'ses, Smith's Dict. of Antiq.All law jus) is distributed into two parts--Jus Gentium and Jus Civile--and the whole body of law peculiar to any state is its Jus Civile (Cic.

Rem, information in
Rem, information in, when any goods are supposed to become the property of the Crown, and no one appears to claim them or to dispute the title, as anciently in the case of treasure-trove, wrecks waifs, and estrays seized by the Crown's officers. After such seizure an information was usually filed in the Exchequer, and thereupon a proclamation was made for the owner (if any) to come in and claim the effects, and at the same time there issued a commission of appraisement to value the goods, after the return of which and a second pro-clamation made, if no claimant appeared, the goods were supposed derelict, and condemned to the use of the Crown; and when in later times forfeitures of the goods themselves, as well as personal penalties on the parties, were inflicted by Act of Parliament for transgressions against the laws of the customs and excise, the same process was adopted in order to secure such forfeited goods for the public use, though the offender had escaped justice. See 18 & 19 V...

Sat. iv. 54). Ultimately the word came to signify, generally, the property of the State, the C'sar having concentrated in himself all the sovereign power; thus the word had finally the signification of 'rarium in the Republican period. It does not appear at what time the 'rarium was merged in the fiscus, though the distinction continued to the time of Hadrian. In the latter periods the words were used indiscriminately, to mean the imperial, which was the only public, chest, Smith's Di...
