Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: out adv., English fangen , fōn , thief n.
Etymology: < out adv. + Old English fangen, past participle of fōn (see fang v.1) + thief n., after infangthief n.
Law. Now historical.
The right of a lord of a private jurisdiction, more extensive than that of infangthief (see infangthief n.), to claim for trial a thief, esp. one who is the lord's tenant, captured outside the jurisdiction, and to keep any forfeited chattels on conviction; occasionally used to denote the thief so apprehended. Also, more widely: the right of a lord to try any thief apprehended within that lord's jurisdiction, regardless of the accused person's place of origin.The right was variously defined or circumscribed in the 13th cent., when its meaning seems to have already become conjectural.Old English infangene-þēof is widely attested (earliest in charters of the 11th cent.: see infangthief n.), but ūtfangene-þēof is rare and late: its earliest and only attestation in Old English comes in a spurious charter of the first half of the 12th cent. (see quot. lOE); this charter is given by William of Malmesbury in the third version of his Gesta Regum (1135–40), and may perhaps have been forged by him (see J. Scott Early Hist. Glastonbury (1981) 31–2). An alleged Latin charter of Egbert dated 828, but in a manuscript of c1125 (Sawyer 271; see W. de G. Birch Cartularium Saxonicum (1885) I. 250) has the phrase ‘cum furis comprehensione intus et foris’ the apparent equivalent of an unattested Old English legal phrase mid infangenum þēofe and ūtfangenum, but the charter may be spurious, or the phrase may be a 12th-cent. interpolation. The term is not included in an English-French Glossary of Law Terms compiled 1122–50 (see T. Wright & J. O. Halliwell Reliquiæ Antiquæ (1845) I. 33) which contains ‘Infangenethef, larum pris ens nostre tere’.The etymological sense ‘out-caught-thief’, i.e. ‘thief apprehended outside’ (the jurisdiction), is that assigned to it in quot. a1425, in which the grant of ‘infangethef et outfangethef’ was explained as giving the grantee the right to try ‘his own thief’ ubicumque captum, whether within or without his territorial jurisdiction. But Bracton and Fleta explain it as the right to try thieves coming from without, and apprehended within the lord's jurisdiction; they both expressly deny that it meant a thief taken outside, or that such a thief might be brought back into the jurisdiction to be tried. Fleta however adds that, after his own thief had been condemned by the outside tribunal, the lord might bring him into his jurisdiction and hang him on his own gallows; and the right to do this appears to be all that Britton knows as ‘the franchise of outfangenthef’.
