VALUE, common law. This term has two different meanings. It sometimes
expresses the utility of an object, and some times the power of purchasing
other good with it. The first may be called value in use, the latter value
in exchange.
2. Value differs from price. The latter is applied to live cattle and
animals; in a declaration, therefore, for taking cattle, they ought to be
said to be of such a price; and in a declaration for taking dead chattels or
those which never had life, it ought to lay them to be of such a value. 2
