ALLOCATUR, practice. The allowance of a writ; e. g. when a writ of habeas
corpus is prayed for, the judge directs it to be done, by writing the word
allowed and signing his name; this is called the allocator. In the English
courts this word is used to indicate the master or prothonotary's allowance
of a sum referred for his consideration, whether touching costs, damages, or
matter of account. Lee's Dict. h, t.
