CowelL ANNALY. In Scotch law. To alienate; to convey. ANNATES. In ecclesiastical law. First fruits paid out of spiritual benefices to the pope, so called because the value of one year's profit was taken as their rate. ANNEX. To add to; to unite; to attach one thing permanently to another. The word expresses the idea of joining a smaller or sub ordinate thing with another, larger, or of higher importance. In the la'w relating to fixtures, the expres sion "annexed to the freehold" means fast ened to or connected with it; mere juxtapo sition, or the laying of an object, however heavy, on the freehold, does not amount to annexation. Merritt v. Judd, 14 Cal. 64. ANNEXATION. The act of attaching, adding, joining, or uniting one thing to an other ; generally spoken of the connection of a smaller or subordinate thing with a larger or principal thing. The attaching an illus trative or auxiliary document to a deposi tion, pleading, deed, etc., is called "annex ing" it. So the incorporation of newly-ac quired territory into the national domain, as an integral part thereof, is called "annexa tion," as in the case of the addition of Texas to the United States. In the law relating to fixtures: Actual annexation includes every movement by which a chattel can be joined or united to the freehold. Constructive annexation is the union of such things as have been holden parcel of the realty, but which are not actual ly annexed, fixed, or fastened to the tree hold. Shep. Touch. 469; Amos & F. Fixt. 2. In Scotch law. The union of lands to the crown, and declaring them inalienable. Also the appropriation of the church-lands by the crown, and the union of lands lying at a distance from the parish church to which they belong, to the church of another parish to which they are contiguous.

ANNICULUS. A child a year old. Cal vin. Anniculus trecentesimo sexagesimo qninto die dicitur, incipiente plane non exacto die, quia a^mum eiviliter non ad

momenta temporum sed ad dies numera mm. We call a child a year old on the three hundred and sixty-fifth day, when the day is fairly begun but not ended, because we calculate the civil year not by moments, but by days. Dig. 50, 16, 134; Id. 132; Calvin. ANNIENTED. Made null, abrogated, frustrated, or brought to nothing. Litt c. 3, § 741. ANNIVERSARY.

The computation of time, according to the Chris tian era, dates from the birth of Christ. This phrase has become Anglicized by adop tion, so that an indictment or declaration con taining the words "Anno Domini" is not demur rable as not being in the English language. State v.
