FISCAL, in the Civil Law, something relating to
the pecuniary interest of the prince or people. The
officers appointed for the management of the fisc, were
called procuratores fisci, and advocati fisci; and among
the cases enumerated in the constitutions of the empire
where it was their business to plead, one is against
those who have been condemned to pay a fine to the
fisc on account of their litigiousness or frivolous ap-
peals.
