In old Scotch law . (We give anew.) The name given to a charter, or clause in a charter, granting a renewal of a right. Bell. Novum judicium non dat novum jus, sed declarat antiquum; quia judicium est juris dictum et per judicium jus est noviter revelatum quod din fuit vela- tum. A new adjudication does not make a new law, but declares the old; because adjudication is the utterance of the law, and by adjudication the law is newly revealed which was for a long time hidden. 10 Coke, 42.
