Fine


A fine is money paid as a financial punishment for the commission of minor
crimes or as the settlement of a claim. A synonym is mulct.

Common examples of fines are monies paid for violations of traffic laws.
Fines can also be used as a form of tax.

Do not confuse fines with bail.

A fine for alienation, in feudal law, is a sum of money paid to the lord by
a tenant whenever he had occasion to make over his land to another. A fine
of lands is a species of conveyance in the form of a fictitious suit
compromised or terminated by the acknowledgment of the previous owner that
such land was the right of the other party.
