`1`Truce `2` "Legal Lexicon":
TRUCE - An agreement between belligerent parties, by which they mutually engage to forbear all acts of hostility against each other for some time, the war still continuing.
Truces are of several kinds: general, extending to all the territories and dominions of both parties; and particular, restrained to particular places; as, for example, by sea, and not by land, etc. They are also absolute, indeterminate and general; or limited and determined to certain things, for example, to bury the dead. --b-- |
