FOSSA ET FURCA

Domain	Definition
Literature	Fossa et Furca [pit and gallows ]. An ancient privilege granted by the Crown to its vassals, to cast female felons into a ditch, and hang male ones on a gallows. According to Wharton (Law Dictionary), this furca is not the Latin word, but the Hebrew farkah, to divide. Hence also the servile tenure called Furcam et Flagellum. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
