As a term of jurisprudence , this word is equivalent to bare, wanting in nec- essary conditions, incomplete, as a naked con- trad. (mulum pactum,) i. e., a contract devoid of consideration , and therefore invalid; or simple, unilateral, comprising but a single element, as a naked authority, i. e., one which is not coupled with any interest in the agent, but subsists for the benefit of the principal alone. As to naked “Confession,” “Deposit,” “Possession,” ” Possibility ,” “Power,” “Promise,” and “Trust,” see those titles.
