Note 72 — Book I.
John Beames translation
Respectus, pro mora, dilatione vel continuatione temporis. In this sense, the term frequently occurs in our old law books. (Vide Reg. Maj. L. 4. c. 20. and Spelm. Gloss. ad voc.) There is in the Register a writ respectu computi vicecomitis habendo, for the respiting a Sheriff’s accounts. There was also respectus Homagii, delaying of Homage. (See Cowell ad voc.)
