REP 



gree, made by the plaintiff to the plea or firlt anfwer of the 

 detendant. 



The replication is particulaily that which the plaintiff 

 replies to the defendant's anfwer in chancery ; and which 

 is either general or fpecial. The fpecial is grounded upon 

 matter arifing out of the defendant's awfvver, &c. The 

 general is fo called from the general words ufed in it. 

 See Rkjoinder, and Confess and avoid. 



REPLIQUE, Fr. in Mufic. This term, which implies 

 an oftave, has been, not very happily, rendered into Englifh 

 by replicate, in the wretched trandation of Ramcau's trea- 

 tife ; but though it has been generally adopted, it has never 

 feemed properly naturalized to our language. Sir Francis 

 Bacon has ufed the word recurrence for tlic fame purpofe, 

 which is much more congenial with our idiom. There is 

 neceffarily a repetition of the fame found, or its oftavc, in 

 every compofitioa of four parts.

REPOLON, in the Manege, is a demivoltc, the croupe 

 in, doled at five times. The Italians are extremely fond 

 of this fort of manege. In making a demivoltc, they ride 

 their liorfes fliort, fo as to embrace or take in lefs ground, 

 and do not make way enough every time of the demivoltc.

REPONSE, Fr. in Mufic, the anfwer to a fubjea of 

 fugue. The anfwer to a fugue, and the time when it is to 

 be introduced, are difficulties in the art of regular fugue, 

 concerning which young contrapuntifts are long doubtful. 

 See Fugue and Counter-subject. 



REPORT, the relation made upon oath, by officers or 

 perfons appointed to vifit, examine, ftate, or eilimate any 

 thing. 



Damages, repairs, &c. are judged from the reports of 

 experienced perfons. Provifions for perfons wounded are 

 only granted on the reports of furgeons, &c. : in cafes of 

 rapes, a report of matrons is to bo had. 



Report, in Law, is a public relation, or bringing to me- 

 mory, of cafes judicially argued, debated, refolved, or ad- 

 judged, in any of the king's courts of juffice, with the 

 caufe and reafon of the fame delivered by the judges. They 

 are hiftories of the fevcral cafes, with a (hort fummary of 

 the proceedings, which are prefcrved at large in the record, 

 the arguments on both fides, and the reafous the court 

 gave for its judgment : taken down in fhort notes by per- 

 fons prefent at the determination : thefc fcrve as indexes to, 

 and alfo to explain, the records. 



Thefe reports, which in matters of confequence and 

 nicety the judges direft to be learched, are extant in a 

 regular feries from the reign of king Edward II. inclufive ; 

 and from his time to that of Henry VIII. were taken by 

 the prothonotaries, or chief fcribes of the court, at the ex- 

 pence of the crown, and publifhed annually ; whence they 

 are known under the denomination of the " Year-books." 

 And it is much to be wiihed (fays judge Blackftone) that 

 this beneficial cuffom had, under proper regulations, been 

 continued to this day ; for though king James I., at the in- 

 ftance of lord Bacon, appointed two reporters, with a hand- 

 fome ftipeod, for this purpofe, yet that wife inllitution was 

 foon neglefted ; and from the reign of Henry VIII. to the 

 prefent time, this ta(k has been executed by many private and 

 contemporary hands ; who fometimes through hafle and inac- 

 curacy, fometimes through miftake and want of Hcill, have 

 publifhed very crude and imperfeift (perhaps contradiftory) 

 accounts of one and the fame determiaation. Some of the 



moft Taluable ancient reports are thofe pubhfiied by lord 

 chief jullicc Coke, which are fo highly cflcemed, that they 

 are generally cited without the author's name ; and arc 

 filled XZ.T i^oxm, the reports. The reports of judjre Croke 

 are alfo cited in a particular manner, by the name of thofe 

 princes in wliofe reigns the cafes reported in his three 

 volumes were determined, wz. queen Elizabeth, king .lames, 

 and Charles I., as well as by the number of each volume, 

 Blackil. Com. book i. &c.
