 and Canon Law, an aflion by which a prince or pope, by 

 difpenfation or letters patent, reftores a delinquent to the 

 condition he was in before his delinquency. Sec Degrada- 

 tion. 



The king alone can rehabilitate an oflicer, noted, con- 

 demned, and degraded ; or a gentleman who has derogated 

 from his rank. 



The pope alone pretends to rehabilitate, i. e. to render 

 capable of benefices and orders, fuch as had fallen into herefy 

 or other irregularities. 



In Romifli countries, an ccclefiaftic who affifts at the exe- 

 cution of a fenteVice of death, is to be rehabilitated by an 

 abfolution, called afcevis. 



By the rehabilitation of a convift in the Code Napoleon, or 

 French criminal jurifprudence, is underftood his reitoration 

 to all the rights and privileges which he had forfeited by 

 being fubjefted to a painful or infamous punifhment. He 

 cannot demand it till five years have elapfed fince the execu- 

 tion of his fentence, during the whole of which time he 

 muft have refided in the fame arrondijfement ; or unlefs he has 

 been domiciled during two complete years in the territory of 

 the municipahty to which the demand is addreffed. It muft 

 alfo be fupported by teiHmonials of his good conduft from 

 the municipal authorities. The criminal court receives the 

 demand, and pronounces on it at the end of three months : 

 if their judgment be unfavourable, the application may be 

 renewed at the end of five years, with the fame advantage ; 

 but if the party rehabilitated into fociety fhould offend again, 

 he becomes incapacitated for ever.
