COLE-SEED. See BRASSICA. 



COLE-WORT, in gardening, a species 

 of brassica. See BRASSTCA. 



COLIC, in medicine, a severe pain in 

 the lower venter, so called, because the 

 disorder was formerly supposed to be 

 seated in the colon. 



COLISEUM, or COLISEUM, in ancient 

 architecture, an oval amphitheatre at 

 Rome, built by Vespasian, wherein were 

 statues set up, representing all the pro- 

 vinces of the empire : in the middle of 

 which stood that of Rome, holding a gold- 

 en apple in her hand 



COL1US, the cofy, in natural history, a 

 genus of birds of' the order Passeres. 

 Generic character: bill convex above, 

 straight under, short and th-ck ; the up- 

 per mandible curved downwards ; nos- 



trils small, placed at he base, and nearly 

 hidden by the feathers ; tongue jagged at 

 the tip; tail long and wedged; toes di- 

 vided throughout. There are four spe- 

 cies, three of which are found in Africa, 

 and the fourth in the Philippine islands. 

 But little is known of their manners and 

 habits. 



COLLAR, in Roman antiquity, a sort 

 of chain put generally round the neck of 

 slaves that had ran away, after they were 

 taken, with an inscription round it, inti- 

 mating their being deserters, and requir- 

 ing their being restored to their proper 

 owners, &c. 



COLLAR, in a more modern sense, an 

 ornament consisting of a chain of gold, 

 enamelled, frequently set with cyphers 

 or other devices, with the badge of the 

 order hanging at the bottom, wore by the 

 knights of several military orders over 

 their shoulders, on the mantle, and its 

 figure drawn round their armories. 



Thus, the collar of the order of the 

 garter, consists of S S, with roses 

 enamelled red, with a garter enamelled 

 blue, and the George at the bottom. 



COLLATERAL, in genealogy, those 

 relations which proceed from the same 

 stock, but not in the same line of as- 

 cendants or descendants, but being, as 

 it were, aside of each other. Thus 

 uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, and cou- 

 sins, are collaterals, or in the same colla- 

 teral line : those in a higher degree, and 

 nearer the common root, represent a 

 kind of paternity, with regard to those 

 more remote. 



COLLATERAL, in a legal sense, is taken 

 for any thing that hangeth by the side ot 

 another, whereto it relates; as a collate- 

 ral assurance is that instrument which is 

 made over and above the deed itself, for 

 the performance of covenants between 

 man and man . thus called, as being exter- 

 nal, and without the nature and essence 

 of the covenant. 



COLLATION, in the common law, the 

 giving or bestowing of a benefice on a 

 clergyman by a bishop, who has it in his 

 own gift or patronage. This differ? 

 from presentation, in that the latter is 

 properly the act of a patron, offering the 

 clerk to the bishop, to be instituted into 

 a benefice, whereas the former is the act 

 of the bishop himself. The collator can 

 never confer a benefice on himself. An- 

 ciently, the right of presentation to all 

 churches was in the bishop ; and now, if 

 the patron neglects to present to the 

 church, his right returns to the bishop 

 by collation. If the bishop neglects to
