释义 | † infangthiefn. Anglo-Saxon Law. Obsolete. Jurisdiction over a thief apprehended within the manor or territorial limits to which the privilege was attached; the right of the lord of a manor to try and to amerce a thief caught within its limits.According to the 13th cent. ‘Laws of Edward the Confessor’, the criminal must be the lord's ‘own thief’, i.e. his own man or tenant; and, according to Bracton, must further be caught in the act, or in possession of the thing stolen; the latter provision also appears in the 16th cent. Scottish statements of Balfour and Skene. The Latin formula for ‘infangen þéof and útfangen þéof’ was ‘cum furis comprehensione intus et foris’.
