allocatur

The allowance of a proceeding, writ, order, etc., by a court, judge, or judicial officer.

The taxing-masters had done their work like any respectable gunsmith conscientiously preparing the musket, that, duly pointed by a brave arm, will spoil a life or two. Allocaturs, filing of bills in Chancery, decrees of sale, are legal chain-shot or bomb-shells that can never hit a solitary mark, but must fall with widespread shattering.

Permission for an appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
