CHIROGRAPH ,
conveyancing .
Signifies a deed or public instrument in writing .
Chirographs were anciently attested by the subscription and crosses of witnesses ;
afterwards ,
to prevent frauds and concealments ,
deeds of mutual covenant were made in a script and rescript ,
or in a part and counterpart ;
and in the middle ,
between the two copies ,
they drew the capital letters of the alphabet ,
and then tallied ,
or cut asunder in an indented manner ,
the sheet or skin of parchment ,
one of which parts being delivered to each of the parties ,
were proved authentic by matching with and answering to one another .
Deeds thus made were denominated syngrapha ,
by the canonists ,
because that word ,
instead of the letters of the alphabet ,
or the word chirographum ,
was used .
