`1`Deodand `2`
"Legal Lexicon":
DEODAND - English Law. This word is derived from Deo dandum - to be given to God - and is used to designate the instrument, whether it be an animal or inanimate thing, which has caused the death of a man.
The deodand is forfeited to the king and was formerly applied to pious uses. But the presentment of a deodand by a grand jury, under their general charge from the judge of assize, is void.
