bound over
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006
For example, `bound over to be of good behaviour and to keep the peace'.
If a person is bound over after conviction he or she is released, subject
to a recognizance (see: Recognizance). The effect is that the offender's
good behaviour is assured by the threat of forfeit of money.
