PRIMER ELECTION. A term used to signify first choice.
2. In England, when coparcenary lands are divided, unless it is
otherwise agreed, the eldest sister has the first choice of the purparts;
this part is called the enitia pars. (q.v.) Sometimes the oldest sister
makes the partition, and in that case, to prevent partiality, she takes the
last choice. Hob. 107; Litt. Sec. 243, 244, 245; Bac. Ab. Coparceners, C.
