of record or magistrate duly authorized, with
condition to do some particular act, as to appear at

pay a debt. A recognizance differs from a bond, being
witnessed by the record only, and not by the party's
seal.

(except recognize) is usually silent.

3. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
RECOGNIZANCE, contracts. An obligation of record entered into before a court
or officer duly authorized for that purpose, with a condition to do some act
required by law, which is therein specified. 2 Bl. Com. 341; Bro. Ab. h.t.;
Dick. Just. h.t.; 1 Chit. Cr. Law, 90.
2. Recognizances relate either to criminal or civil matters. 1.
Recognizances in criminal cases, are either that the party shall appear
before the proper court to answer to such charges as are or shall be made
against him, that he shall keep the peace or be of good behaviour. Witnesses
are also required to be bound in a recognizance to testify.
3.-2. In civil cases, recognizances are entered into by bail,
conditioned that they will pay the debt, interest and costs recovered by the
plaintiff under certain contingencies. There are also cases where
recognizances are entered into under the authority and requirements of
statutes.
4. As to the form. The party need not sign it; the court, judge or
magistrate having authority to take the same, makes a short memorandum on
the record, which is sufficient. 2 Binn. R. 481; 1 Chit. Cr. Law, 90; 2
Wash. C. C. R. 422; 9 Mass. 520; 1 Dana, 523; 1 Tyler, 291; 4 Vern. 488; 1
