misentitle

To give an inappropriate title to; to mistitle.

In the forefront, of course, is Dr. Gordon, C.B. (whom he oddly misentitles “late Chief of the Medical Service in Madras" ), who is popularly believed, in the Madras Presidency, where he was Surgeon-General of the British Medical Service, to have denied the existence of specific enteric fever altogether.

The Brief of Appellant filed herein will hereinafter be called "App. Bf ."; and the Complaint herein, which Verdone misentitles "Declaration, " will be called "Complaint."

To entitle wrongly; to grant a right or rights which are not deserved or appropriate.

Here, as there, the surviving wife has herself misentitled her own cause, and in the present case if strictness of practice were observed she would appear as sole plaintiff in error impleaded with a living person from whom there has been no severance, and therefore no right of separate proceeding.

It was not at the option of the plaintiffs to cross-examine or not; if that were the practice, the consequence would be that a party might misentitle the interrogatories, and then, when he found that matter came out upon the examination of some of the witnesses, that made against him, he might refuse to examine them again, and get rid of their evidence.
