It isn't listed in Black's Law Dictionary, which seems to be mainly useful for looking up terms that English lawyers used before Shakespeare's time.

My Black's Law Dictionary (5th Ed.) doesn't contain that phrase, and I've never personally heard of it, although we don't use most of the old Latin names of forms of process anymore in Maryland. The word "quaere" means "question" or "issue" or "doubt", and "transgressit" means "trespass"; so that might be the old name for a writ of trespass. Where did _you_ hear the phrase? In what context? That might help us decipher it. -- This posting is for discussion purposes, not professional advice. Anything you post on this Newsgroup is public information.
