articulate adjudication

from Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
ARTICULATE ADJUDICATION. A term used in Scotch, law in cases where there is
more than the debt due to the adjudging creditor, when it is usual to
accumulate each debt by itself, so that any error that may arise in
ascertaining one of the debts need not reach to all the rest.
