REQUISITION. The act of demanding a thing to be done by virtue of some
right. 2. The constitution of the United States, art. 4, s. 2, provides that
fugitives from justice shall be delivered up to the authorities of the state
from which they are fugitives, on the demand of the executive from such
state. The demand made by the governor of one state on the governor of
another for a fugitive is called a requisition.
