  case
       
          1.  switch statement.
       
          2.  Whether a character is a capital letter ("upper
          case" - ABC..Z) or a small letter ("lower case" - abc..z).
       
          The term case comes from the printing trade when the use of
          moving type was invented in the early Middle Ages (Caxton or
          Gutenberg?) and the letters for each font were stored in a
          box with two sections (or "cases"), the upper case was for the
          capital letters and the lower case was for the small letters.
          The Oxford Universal Dictionary of Historical Principles (Feb
          1993, reprinted 1952) indicates that this usage of "case" (as
          the box or frame used by a compositor in the printing trade)
          was first used in 1588.

        volition) which is inclosed in the cartilaginous or bony
        cranium of vertebrate animals. It is simply the anterior
        termination of the spinal cord, and is developed from
        three embryonic vesicles, whose cavities are connected
        with the central canal of the cord; the cavities of the
        vesicles become the central cavities, or ventricles, and
        the walls thicken unequally and become the three segments,
        the fore-, mid-, and hind-brain.

           of the forebrain, are enormously developed so as to
           overhang the cerebellum, the great lobe of the
           hindbrain, and completely cover the lobes of the
           midbrain. The surface of the cerebrum is divided into
           irregular ridges, or convolutions, separated by grooves
           (the so-called fissures and sulci), and the two
           hemispheres are connected at the bottom of the
           longitudinal fissure by a great transverse band of
           nervous matter, the corpus callosum, while the two
           halves of the cerebellum are connected on the under
           side of the brain by the bridge, or pons Varolii.
  
     2. (Zo["o]l.) The anterior or cephalic ganglion in insects
        and other invertebrates.

  CASE practice. A contested question before a court of justice, a suit or 
  action, a cause. 9 Wheat. 738. 
  
  

  CASE, remedies. This is the name of an action in very general use, which 
  lies where a party sues for damages for any wrong or cause of complaint to 
  which covenant or trespass will not lie. Steph. Pl. 153 Wodd. 167 Ham. N. P. 
  1. Vide Writ of trespass on the case. In its most comprehensive 
  signification, case includes assumpsit as well as an action in form ex 
  delicto; but when simply mentioned, it is usually understood to mean an 
  action in form ex delicto. 7 T. R. 36. It is a liberal action; Burr, 906, 
  1011 1 Bl. Rep. 199; bailable at common law. 2 Barr 927-8; founded on the 
  justice and conscience of the Tiff's case, and is in the nature of a bill in 
  equity 3 Burr, 1353, 1357 and the substance of a count in case is the damage 
  assigned. 1 Bl. Rep. 200. 
       2. An action on the case lies to recover damages for torts not 
  committed with force actual or implied, or having been occasioned by force, 
  where the matter affected was not tangible, or where the injury was not 
  immediate but consequential; 11 Mass. 59, 137 1 Yeates, 586; 6 S. & R. 348; 
  12 S. & R. 210; 18 John. 257 19 John. 381; 6 Call, 44; 2 Dana, 378 1 Marsh. 
  194; 2 H. & M. 423; Harper, 113; Coxe, 339; or where the interest in the 
  property was only in reversion. 8 Pick. 235; 7 Conn. 3282 Green, 8 1 John. 
  511; 3 Hawks, 2462 Murph. 61; 2 N. H. Rep. 430. In these several cases 
  trespass cannot be sustained. 4 T. 11. 489 7 T. R. 9. Case is also the 
  proper remedy for a wrongful act done under legal process regularly issuing 
  from a court of competent jurisdiction. 2 Conn. 700 11 Mass. 500 6 Greenl. 
  421; 1 Bailey, 441, 457; 9 Conn. 141; 2 Litt. 234; 3 Conn. 5373 Gill & John. 
  377. Vide Regular and irregular process. 
       3. It will be proper to consider, 1. in what cases the action of 
  trespass on the case lies; 2. the pleadings 3. the evidence; 4. the 
  judgment. 
       4.-1. This action lies for injuries, 1. to the absolute rights of 
  persons 2. to the relative rights of persons; 3. to personal property; 4. to 
  real property. 
       5.-1. When the injury has been done to the absolute rights of persons 
  by an act not immediate but consequential, as in the case of special damages 
  arising from a public nuisance Willes, 71 to 74 or where an incumbrance had 
  been placed in a public street, and the plaintiff passing there received an 
  injury; or for a malicious prosecution. See malicious prosecution. 
       6.-2. For injuries to the relative rights, as for enticing away an 
  infant child, per quod servitium amisit, 4 Litt. 25; for criminal 
  conversation, seducing or harboring wives; debauching daughters, but in this 
  case the daughter must live with her father as his servant, see Seduction; 
  or enticing  away or harboring apprentices or servants. 1 Chit. Pl. 137 2 
  Chit. Plead. 313, 319. When the seduction takes place in the husband's or 
  father's house, he may, at his election, have trespass or case; 6 Munf. 587; 
  Gilmer, but when the injury is done in the house of another, case is the 
  proper remedy. 5 Greenl. 546. 
       7.-3. When the injury to personal property is without force and. not 
  immediate, but consequential, or when the plaintiff Is right to it is in 
  reversion, as, where property is injured by a third person while in the 
  hands of a hirer; 3 Camp. 187; 2 Murph. 62; 3 Hawks, 246, case is the proper 
  remedy. 8 East, 693; Ld. Raym. 1399; Str. 634; 1 Chit. Pl. 138. 
       8.-4. When the real property which has been injured is corporeal, and 
  the injury is not immediate but consequential, as for example, putting a 
  spout so near the plaintiff's land that the water runs upon it; 1 Chit. Pl. 
  126, 141; Str. 634; or where the plaintiff's property is only in reversion. 
  When the injury has been done to, incorporeal rights, as for obstructing a 
  private way, or disturbing a party in the use of a pew, or for injury to a 
  franchise, as a ferry, and the like, case is the proper remedy. l Chit. Pl. 
  143. 
       9.-2. The declaration in case, technically so called, differs from a 
  declaration in trespass, chiefly in this, that in case, it must not, in 
  general, state the injury to have been committed vi et armis; 3 Conn. 64; 
  see 2 Ham. 169; 11 Mass. 57; Coxe, 339; yet after verdict, the words "with 
  force and arms" will, be rejected as surplusage; Harp. 122; and it ought not 
  to conclude contra pacem. Com. Dig. Action on the Case, C 3. The plea is 
  usually the general issue, not guilty. 
      10.-3. Any matter may, in general, be given in evidence, under the 
  plea of not guilty, except the statute of limitations. In cases of slander 
  and a few other instances, however, this cannot be done. 1 Saund. 130, n. 1; 
  Wilies, 20. When the plaintiff declares in case, with averments appropriate 
  to that form of action and the evidence shows that the injury was trespass; 
  or when he declares in trespass, and the evidence proves an injury for which 
  case will lie, and not trespass, the defendant should be acquitted by the 
  jury, or the plaintiff should be nonsuited. 5 Mass. 560; 16 Mass. 451; Coxe, 
  339; 3 John. 468. 
      11.-4. The judgment is, that the plaintiff recover a sum of money, 
  ascertained by a jury, for his damages sustained by the committing of the 
  grievances complained of in the declaration, and costs. 
      12. In the civil law, an action was given in all cases of nominate 
  contracts, which was always of the same name. But in innominate contracts, 
  which had always the same consideration, but not the same name, there could 
  be no action of the same denomination, but an action which arose from the 
  fact, in factum, or an action with a form which arose from the particular 
  circumstance, praescriptis verbis actio. Lec. Elem. Sec. 779. Vide, 
  generally, Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t. 
  
  

  CASE, STATED, practice. An agreement in writing, between a plaintiff and 
  defendant, that the facts in dispute between them are as there agreed upon 
  and mentioned, 3 Whart. 143. 
       2. The facts being thus ascertained, it is left for the court to decide 
  for which party is the law. As no writ of error lies on a judgment rendered 
  on a case stated, Dane's Ab. c. 137, art. 4, n. Sec. 7, it is usual in the 
  agreement to insert a clause that the case stated shall be considered in the 
  nature of special verdict. 
       3. In that case, a writ of error lies on the judgment which may be 
  rendered upon it. And a writ of error will also lie on a judgment on a case 
  stated, when the parties have agreed to it. 8 Serg. & Rawle, 529. 
       4. In another sense, by a case stated is understood a statement of all 
  the facts of a case, together with the names of the witnesses, and, a detail 
  of the documents which are to support them. In other words, it is a brief.
