EXHIBIT, practice. Where a paper or other writing is on motion, or on other
occasion, proved; or if an affidavit to which the paper writing is annexed,
refer to it, it is usual to mark the same with a capital letter, and to add,
"This paper writing marked with the letter A, was shown to the deponent at
the time of his being sworn by me, and is the writing by him referred to in
the affidavit annexed hereto." Such paper or other writing, with this
attestation, signed by the judge or other person before whom the affidavit
shall have been sworn, is called an exhibit. Vide Stra. 674; 2 P. Wms. 410;
Gresl. Eq. Ev. 98.
TO EXHIBIT. To produce a thing publicly, so that it may be taken possession
of, or seized. Dig. 10, 4, 2. To exhibit means also to file of record; as,
it is the practice in England in personal actions, when an officer or
prisoner of the king's bench is defendant, to proceed against such defendant
in the court in which he is an officer, by exhibiting, that is, filing a
bill against him. Steph. P.I. 52, n. (1); 2 Sell. Pr. 74. In medical
language, to exhibit signifies to administer, to cause a thing to be
taken by a patient. Chit. bled. Jur. 9.
