a term employed to signify the separating or setting aside of a thing in controversy from the possession of both parties who contend for it. It is twofold voluntary and necessary. Voluntary sequestration is that which is done by consent of each party; necessary is that which the judge, of his own authority, does, whether the party consents or not. Sequestration is also a kind of execution for debt on a benefice, issued by the bishop, by which the profits are to be paid to the creditor.
