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

  ARREST. To stop; to seize; to deprive one of his liberty by virtue of legal
  authority.
  
  

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

  ARREST, in criminal cases. The apprehending or detaining of the person, in
  order to be forthcoming to answer an alleged or suspected crime. The word
  arrest is more properly used in civil cases, and apprehension in criminal. A
  man is arrested under a capias ad respondendum, apprehended under a warrant
  charging him with a larceny.
       2. It will be convenient to consider, 1, who may be arrested; 2, for
  what crimes; 3, at what time; 4, in what places; 5, by whom and by what
  authority.
       3.-1. Who may be arrested. Generally all persons properly accused of
  a crime or misdemeanor, may be arrested; by the laws of the United States,
  ambassadors (q.v.) and other public ministers are exempt from arrest.
       4.-2. For what offences an arrest may be made. It may be made for
  treason, felony, breach of the peace, or other misdemeanor.
       5.-3. At what time. An arrest may be made in the night as well as in
  the day time and for treasons, felonies, and breaches of the peace, on
  Sunday as well as on other days. It may be made before as well as after
  indictment found. Wallace's R. 23.
       6.-4. At what places. No place affords protection to offenders
  against the criminal law; a man may therefore be arrested in his own house,
  (q.v.) which may be broken into for the purpose of making the arrest.
       7.-5. Who may arrest and by what authority. An offender may be
  arrested either without a warrant or with a warrant. First, an arrest may be
  made without a warrant by a private individual or by a peace officer.
  Private individuals are enjoined by law to arrest an offender when present
  at the time a felony is committed, or a dangerous wound given. 11 Johns. R.
  486 and vide Hawk. B. 1, c, 12, s. 1; c. 13, F3. 7, 8; 4 Bl. Com. 292; 1
  Hale, 587; Com. Dig. Imprisonment, H 4; Bac. Ab. Trespass, D.
       3. Peace officers may, a fortiori, make an arrest for a crime or
  misdemeanor committed in their view, without any warrant. 8 Serg. & R. 47.
  An arrest may therefore be made by a constable, (q.v.) a justice of the
  peace, (q.v.) sheriff, (q.v.) or coroner. (q.v.) Secondly, an arrest may
  be made by  virtue of a warrant, (q.v.) which is the proper course when the
  circumstances of the case will permit it. Vide, generally, 1 Chit. Cr. Law,
  11 to 71; Russ. on Cr. Index, h.t.
