Pronunciation

(UK) IPA^(key): /ˈaʊtfaŋθiːf/

Noun

outfangthief (uncountable)

(historical, law, properly, rare) A privilege of some feudal lords permitting them to execute summary judgment upon thieves (particularly their own tenants) captured outside their estates and to keep any chattels forfeited upon conviction.
- 1822, John Comyns & Anthony Hammond, A Digest of the Laws of England, Butterworth & Son, p. 328:
  A grant of outfangthief imports the trial of those of his fee taken for felony in another precinct.
- 1990, David Maxwell Walker, A Legal History of Scotland, Vol. II, p. 640:
  The addition of outfangandthef is much less usual [than infangthief]; it seems to have meant the right to try a man of the barony taken stealing outside the barony, if necessary repledging him to the barony court.
(historical, law, generally, rare) A privilege of some feudal lords permitting them to execute summary judgment upon all thieves captured within their estates, regardless of their origin.
- 1845, John Henry Newman, Lives of the English Saints, ST Freemantle, p. 19:
  But feudalism also contained another principle, and that was, that within his own territory each lord was absolute; his suzerain could not interfere with his jurisdiction; infangthief and outfangthief implied a very perfect and intelligible power of hanging and imprisoning as he pleased.
(historical, law, rare) A thief so captured and tried.
