  JUSTICIES, Eng. law. The name of a writ which acquires its name from the 
  mandatory words which it contains, "that you do A B justice." 
       2. The county court has jurisdiction in cases where damages are 
  claimed, only to a certain amount; but sometimes suits are brought there, 
  when greater damages are claimed. In such cases, an original writ, by this 
  name, issues out of chancery, in order to give the court jurisdiction. See 1
