BOUNTY. A sum of money or other thing, given, generally by' the government,
to certain persons, for some service they have done or are about to do to
the public. As bounty upon the culture of silk; the bounty given to an
enlisted soldier; and the like. It differs from a reward, which is
generally applied to particular cases; and from a payment, as there is no
contract on the part of the receiver of the bounty.
