Restitution of Conjugal Rights. See Conjugal 

 Rights. 



RESTITUTION of Stolen Goods, in Law, is allowed to the 

 profecutor, on a conviction oflarciny, by itat. 21 Hen. VIII. 

 C. II. For, by the common law, there was no reflitution 

 of goods upon an indiftment, becaufe it is at the fuit of the 

 kin"- only ; and therefore the party was forced to bring an 

 appeal of robbery, in order to have his goods again. But 

 it being confidered that the party, profecuting the offender 

 by indiftment, deferves as much encouragement as he who 

 profecutes by appeal, this ftatute was made, which enafts, 

 that if any perfon be convifted of larciny by the evidence 

 of the party robbed, he flia.ll have full reftitution of his 

 money, goods, and chattels, or the value of them out of 

 the offender's goods, if he has any, by a writ to be granted 

 by the juftices. And this writ of reftitution lhall reach the 

 goods fo llolen, notwithilanding the property of them is en- 

 deavoured to be altered by fale in market overt : or elfe, 

 without fucii writ of reftitution, the party may peaceably 

 retake his goods, wherever he happens to find them, unlefs 

 a new property be fairly acquired therein ; or, laftly, if the 

 felon be convifted and pardoned, or be allowed iiis clergy, 

 the party robbed may bring his action of trover againit him 

 for his goods, and recover a fatisfaftion in damages ; but 

 fuch aftion lies not before profecution, for fo felonies would 

 be made up and healed. See RECAPTION. 



Restii ttion of Temporalities of Bi/hops. See Tempo- 

 ralities, and Restitutions Temporalium. 



Restitution in Integrum, is ufed for what is otherwife 

 called nfciffion. 



Religious obtain reftitution againft their vows, i.e. they 

 are freed from their obligation, when they proteft againft 

 them within five years of their profeffion. 



In the hiftory of Germany for the feventeenth century, 

 the firft day of January, 1624, is called the term of reflitu- 

 tion ; becaufe by the peace of Munfter, then concluded, 

 the Lutheran and Calviniit princes were obliged to reftitute, 

 or reftore what they had taken from the Roman Catholic 

 churches in their territories till that day. 



By the peace of Wellphalia in 1648, the reftitution-edift 

 was abrogated, and botli the contending parties confirmed 

 in the perpetual and uninterrupted pofleflion of whatever 

 they had occupied in the beginning of the year 1624. And 

 all the articles agreed upon by this peace were confirmed and 

 ratified, in the year 1650, at Nuremberg. 



Restitution of Medals, or Reflituted Medals, is a phrafe 

 ufed by antiquaries, for fuch medals as were ftruck by the 

 emperors, to renew or retrieve the memory of their prede- 

 ceffors. 



Hence it is, that in feveral medals we find the letters 

 REST. Claudius was the firft who began this praftice, by 

 linking afrefti feveral medals of Augullus. Nero did the 

 fame; and Titus, after the example of his father, ftruck 

 reftitutions of mod of his predeceffors. Some, however, 

 have maintained that the reltituted medals of Claudius and 

 Nero are modern and fpurious, and that the practice began 

 under Titus. 



Gallienus ftruck a general reftitution of moft of the pre- 

 ceding emperors in two medals, the one bearing an altar, 

 the other an eagle, without the rcjl. F. Joubert choofes 

 rather to call them cor.verfations than reftitutions, as being 

 done quite anew. Thele were deligned to prefervc the re- 

 membrance of the confecration of thofe emperors in honour 

 of whom they were ftruck ; and they have all the fame le- 

 gend on the reverie, vi». consecratio. 



RESTITUTIONE extratli ah ecclefa, in Law, a writ 



anciently granted for the rcftoring a m&n to the church, or 

 fanftuary, from which he had been forced way. 



RESTITUTIONS Temporalium, a writ which lies where a 

 man is elected and confirmed biftiop of a diocefe, for the re- 

 covery of the temporalities, or barony, of the faid bifhopric. 

 It is directed from the king to the efcheator, or rather 

 fheriff of the county. 



RESTIVE, or Resty, a term applied to a horfe, &c. 

 that flops, or runs back, inftead of advancing forwards. 



In the manege, a rellive horfe is a rebellious, refraftory, 

 ill-broken horfe, which only goes where it will, and when 

 it will. The word is formed from the Latin reflivus, which 

 fignifies the fame thing. (See Ramingue. ) A horfe of 

 this fort, who has been too much conftrained and tyrannized 

 over, iliould be treated with the lame lenity as a young colt. 

 The fpurs are improper to be ufed to either ; inllead of 

 which a fwitch fhould be ufed, in order to drive him for- 

 ward, as he will be thus lefs alarmed ; becaufe the fpurs 

 furprife a horfe, abate his courage, and are more likely to 

 make him reftive than oblige him to go forward, if he re- 

 fufes to do fo. There is likewife another method to punilh 

 a reftive horfe, which is to make him go backward the mo- 

 ment he begins to refill. Thele corrections generally fuc- 

 ceed ; but the general rule is to pufti and carry your horfe 

 forward, whenever he refufes to advance, and continues in 

 the fame place, and defends himfelf either by turning or 

 flinging his croupe on one fide or the other ; and, for this 

 purpofe, nothing is fo efficacious as to pufh him forward 

 vigoroufly. Berenger's Horfemanftiip, vol. ii. p. 29, &c.

 Restoration, in Theology, a term applied by thofe who 

 maintain the doftrine of the final happinels of all mankind, 

 to the recovery of tranfgreffors from a ftate of guilt and 

 mifery to pardon and felicity, in confequence of the penal

 Restoration Cove, in Geography, a bay on the weft 

 coaft of North America, in Burke's canal, fo called by 

 Vancouver, from the 29th of May, the day of its difcovery. 

 Among the lkins brought to fale at this bay were thofe of 

 the animal which produces the wool, of which the garments 

 worn by fome of the Indians are made. Their length, ex- 

 clufively of the head and tail, was 50 inches ; and their 

 breadth, exclufively of the legs, was 36 inches. All the 

 fkins that were brought to captain Vancouver were white, 

 or rather of a cream colour. The pelt was thick, and of a 

 fine texture ; but from their ftate of mutilation, the fpecies 

 of animals to which they belonged could not be afcertained. 

 The women, who appeared to be of the greatell import- 

 ance, were adorned by an horizontal incilion about three- 

 tenths of an inch below the upper part of the under lip, ex- 

 tending from one corner of the mouth to the other ; and in 

 this (lit was fixed a piece of wood, confined clofely to the 

 gums of the lower jaw, and projecting by its external fur- 

 face horizontally. Thefe wooden ornaments were of an 

 oval form, and reiembled a fmall oval platter or dilh, con- 

 cave on both fides : the fmalleft of them was about 2 J inches, 

 and the largelt 3,'„ inches long, and lj inch broad; the 

 others decreaied in breadth in proportion to their length. 

 The clothing of the natives here COnllfted i ithfiT of the Ikiiw 

 of the lea-otter, or of garments made of the pine-bark, into 

 which was neatly wrought fome of the iur of the lea-otter, 

 and their fides and bottoms were decorated with various co- 

 lours. In this they ufe only woollen yarn, very line, well 

 fpuii, and dyed fur that purpofe, particularly with a very
