DISTRAINT Copy link
• DISTRAINT
commissum (the sum that the imperial “fiscus” claimed for non-payment of taxes, etc.; Vid: DISTRAIN): bonorum venditio (when the goods distrained are sold): pignoris capio or captio (Vid: Gai. 4, 28). A distraint has been levied on anybody, alicujus bona venierunt (Vid: Gai. 2, 154); aliquis necessitate juris bonorum venditionem passus est (ib.). The “publicani” possessed the right of distraint for non-payment of taxes, data est pignoris captio publicanis vectigalium publicorum populi Romani adversus eos, qui aliqua lege vectigalia deberent (Gai., ib. Though the pledge was taken as a security for payment, there must have been a power of sale, in case of non-payment; Dict., Antiqq., p. 754, a). To levy a distraint, commisso tollere aliquid: bona alicujus vendere: to order a distraint to be levied, constituere, ut liceat bona alicujus vendere (Gai. 2, 167). Vid: Dict. Antiqq., p. 165, under bonorum emptio.
