COVINE.
Covine, cometh of the French word convine, and* 1.1 is a secret assent determined in the hearts of two or more, to the defrauding and prejudice of another.
As if Tenant for life will secretly conspire with another, that the other shall recover in prejudice of him in reversion, for by this his reversion is taken away. For this conspiracy may very well be said to be covine, since all the parts are therein contained, for it is an unity in the hearts of two, and it is secretly done in respect of a third who is thereby damni••ied, for if it be secret quoad him who is concerned, it is secret within the descrip∣tion.
