ET ALLOCATUB. And it is allowed. ET C2ETEBA. And others; and other things; and so on. In its abbreviated form {etc.) this phrase is frequently affixed to one of a series of articles or names to show that others are intended to follow or understood to be included. So, after reciting the initia tory words of a set formula, or a clause al ready given in full, etc. is added, as an ab breviation, for the sake of convenience. ET DE CEO SE METTENT EN LE PAYS. L. Fr.

And this he is prepared to verify. The Latin form of concluding a plea in con fession and avoidance. These words were used, when the pleadings were in Latin, at the conclusion of any pleading which contained new affirmative matter. They expressed the willingness or readiness of the party so plead ing to establish by proof the matter alleged in his pleading. A pleading which concluded in that manner was technically said to "conclude with a verification," in contradistinction to a pleading which simply denied matter alleged by the oppo site party, and which for that reason was said to u conclude to the country," because the party merely put himself upon the country, or left the matter to the jury.

Thus a reference to "p. 1, et seq." means "page first and the following pages." ET SIC. And so.
