Writ \Writ\, n. [AS. writ, gewrit. See {Write}.]       1. That which is written; writing; scripture; -- applied             especially to the Scriptures, or the books of the Old and             New testaments; as, sacred writ.

(Law) An instrument in writing, under seal, in an             epistolary form, issued from the proper authority,             commanding the performance or nonperformance of some act             by the person to whom it is directed; as, a writ of entry,             of error, of execution, of injunction, of mandamus, of             return, of summons, and the like.          Note: Writs are usually witnessed, or tested, in the name of                the chief justice or principal judge of the court out                of which they are issued; and those directed to a                sheriff, or other ministerial officer, require him to                return them on a day specified. In former English law                and practice, writs in civil cases were either original                or judicial; the former were issued out of the Court of                Chancery, under the great seal, for the summoning of a                defendant to appear, and were granted before the suit                began and in order to begin the same; the latter were                issued out of the court where the original was                returned, after the suit was begun and during the                pendency of it. Tomlins. Brande. Encyc. Brit. The term                writ is supposed by Mr. Reeves to have been derived                from the fact of these formul[91] having always been                expressed in writing, being, in this respect,                distinguished from the other proceedings in the ancient                action, which were conducted orally.          {Writ of account}, {Writ of capias}, etc. See under             {Account}, {Capias}, etc.          {Service of a writ}.

The American species ({Clupea sapidissima}), which is       abundant on the Atlantic coast and ascends the larger rivers       in spring to spawn, is an important market fish. The European       allice shad, or alose ({C. alosa}), and the twaite shad. ({C.       finta}), are less important species.

The plant is also called             {service tree}, and {Juneberry}.          {Shad frog}, an American spotted frog ({Rana halecina}); --             so called because it usually appears at the time when the             shad begin to run in the rivers.          {Trout shad}, the squeteague.          {White shad}, the common shad.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Scribes       anciently held various important offices in the public affairs       of the nation. The Hebrew word so rendered (sopher) is first       used to designate the holder of some military office (Judg.       5:14; A.V., "pen of the writer;" R.V., "the marshal's staff;"       marg., "the staff of the scribe"). The scribes acted as       secretaries of state, whose business it was to prepare and issue       decrees in the name of the king (2 Sam. 8:17; 20:25; 1 Chr.       18:16; 24:6; 1 Kings 4:3; 2 Kings 12:9-11; 18:18-37, etc.). They       discharged various other important public duties as men of high       authority and influence in the affairs of state.                There was also a subordinate class of scribes, most of whom       were Levites. They were engaged in various ways as writers.       Such, for example, was Baruch, who "wrote from the mouth of       Jeremiah all the words of the Lord" (Jer. 36:4, 32).                In later times, after the Captivity, when the nation lost its       independence, the scribes turned their attention to the law,       gaining for themselves distinction by their intimate       acquaintance with its contents. On them devolved the duty of       multiplying copies of the law and of teaching it to others (Ezra       7:6, 10-12; Neh. 8:1, 4, 9, 13). It is evident that in New       Testament times the scribes belonged to the sect of the       Pharisees, who supplemented the ancient written law by their       traditions (Matt. 23), thereby obscuring it and rendering it of       none effect. The titles "scribes" and "lawyers" (q.v.) are in       the Gospels interchangeable (Matt. 22:35; Mark 12:28; Luke       20:39, etc.). They were in the time of our Lord the public       teachers of the people, and frequently came into collision with       him. They afterwards showed themselves greatly hostile to the       apostles (Acts 4:5; 6:12).                Some of the scribes, however, were men of a different spirit,       and showed themselves friendly to the gospel and its preachers.       Thus Gamaliel advised the Sanhedrin, when the apostles were       before them charged with "teaching in this name," to "refrain       from these men and let them alone" (Acts 5:34-39; comp. 23:9).
