REMITTUR OF RECORD. After a record has been removed to the supreme court,
and a judgment has been rendered, it is to be remitted or sent back to the
court below, for the purpose of re-trying the cause, when the judgment has
been reversed, or of issuing an execution when it has been affirmed. The act
of so returning the record, and the writ issued for that purpose, bear the
name of remittitur.
