From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  FINE. This word has various significations. It is employed, 1. To mean a sum 
  of money, which, by judgment of a competent jurisdiction, is required to be 
  paid for the punishment of an offence. 2. To designate the amount paid by 
  the tenant, on his entrance, to the lord. 3. To signify a special kind of 
  conveyance. 
  
  

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  FINE, conveyance, Practice. An amicable composition or agreement of a suit, 
  either actual or fictitious, by leave of the court, by which the lands in 
  question become, or are acknowledged to be the right of one of the parties. 
  Co. Litt. 120; 2 Bl. Com. 349; Bac. Abr. Fines and Recoveries. A fine is so 
  called, because it puts an end, not only to the suit thus commenced, but 
  also to all other suits and controversies concerning the same matter. Such 
  concords, says Doddridge, (Eng. Lawyer, 84, 85,) have been in use in the 
  civil law, and are called transactions (q.v.) whereof they say thus: 
  Transactiones sunt de eis quae in controversia sunt, a, lite futura aut 
  pendente ad certam compositionem reducuntur, dando aliquid vel accipiendo. 
  Or shorter, thus: Transactio est de re dubia et lite ancipite ne dum ad 
  finem ducta, non gratuita pactio. It is commonly defined an assurance by 
  matter of record, and is founded upon a supposed previously existing right, 
  and upon a writ requiring the party to perform his covenant; although a fine 
  may be levied upon any writ by which lands may be demanded, charged, or 
  bound. It has also been defined an acknowledgment on record of a previous 
  gift or feoffment, and prima facie carries a fee, although it may be limited 
  to an estate for life or in fee tail. Prest. on Convey. 200, 202, 268, 269 2 
  Bl. Com. 348-9. 
       2. The stat. 18 E. I., called modus levandi fines, declares and 
  regulates the manner in which they should be levied and carried on and that 
  is as follows: 1. The party to whom the land is conveyed or assured, 
  commences an action at law against the other, generally an action of 
  covenant, by suing out of a writ of praecipe, called a writ of covenant, 
  that the one shall convey the lands to the other, on the breach of which 
  agreement the action is brought. The suit being thus commenced, then 
  follows, 
       2. The licentia concordandi, or leave to compromise the suit. 3. The 
  concord or agreement itself, after leave obtained by the court; this is 
  usually an acknowledgment from the deforciants, that the lands in question 
  are the lands of the complainants. 4. The note of the fine, which is only an 
  abstract of the writ of covenant, and the concord naming the parties, the 
  parcels of land, and the agreement. 5. The foot of the fine or the 
  conclusion of it, which includes the whole matter, reciting the parties, 
  day, year, and place, and before whom it was acknowledged or levied. 
       3. Fines thus levied, are of four kinds. 1. What in law French is 
  called a fine sur cognizance de droit, come ceo que il ad de son done; or a 
  fine upon the acknowledgment of the right of the cognizee, as that which he 
  has of the gift of the cognizor. This fine is called a feoffment of record. 
  2. A fine sur cognizance de droit tantum, or acknowledgment of the right 
  merely. 3. A fine sur concessit, is where the cognizor, in order to make an 
  end of disputes, though he acknowledges no precedent right, yet grants to 
  the consignee an estate de novo, usually for life or years, by way of a 
  supposed composition. 4. A fine sur done grant et render, which is a double 
  fine, comprehending the fine sur cognizance de droit come ceo, &c., and the 
  fine sur concessit; and may be used to convey particular limitations of 
  estate, and to persons who are strangers, or not named in the writ of the 
  covenant, whereas the fine sur cognizance de droit come ceo &c., conveys 
  nothing but an absolute estate either of inheritance, or at least of 
  freehold. Salk. 340. In this last species of fines, the cognizee, after the 
  right is acknowledged to be in him, grants back again, or renders to the 
  cognizor, or perhaps to a stranger some other estate in the premises. 2 Bl. 
  Com. 348 to 358. See Cruise on Fines; Vin. Abr. Fine; Sheph. Touch. c. 2; 
  Bac. Ab. Fines and Recoveries; Com. Dig. Fine. 
  
  

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  FINE, criminal law. Pecuniary punishment imposed by a lawful tribunal, upon 
  a person convicted of crime or misdemeanor. See Shep. Touchs. 2; Bac. Abr. 
  Fines and Amercements. 
       2. The amount of the fine is frequently left to the discretion of the 
  court, who ought to proportion the fine to the offence. To prevent the abuse 
  of excessive fines, the Constitution of the United States directs that 
  "excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor 
  cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." Amendm. to the Constitution, art. 
  8. See Division of opinion.
