From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  DETINUIT, practice. He detained.
       2. Where an action of replevin is instituted for goods which the 
  defendant had taken, but which he afterwards restored, it is said to be 
  brought in the detinuit; in such case the judgment is, that the plaintiff 
  recover the damages assessed by the jury for the taking and unjust 
  detention, or for the latter only, where the former was justifiable, and his 


  costs. 4 Bouv. Inst. n. 3562. 3. When the replevin is in the detinet, that 
  he detains the goods, the jury must find in addition to the above, the value 
  of the chattels, (assuming they are still detained, not in a gross sum, but 
  each separate article must be separately valued, for perhaps the defendant 
  may restore some of them, in which case the plaintiff is to recover the 
  value of the remainder. Vide Debet et Detinet.
