inlaw

inlaw, vb. Archaic. To place (an offender) under the protection of the law. Cf. OUTLAW(1).

“The outlaw’s life is insecure…. If the king inlaws him, he comes back into the world like a new-born babe, quasi modo genius, capable indeed of acquiring new rights, but unable to assert any of those that he had before his outlawry. An annihilation of the outlawry would have a different operation, but the inlawed outlaw is not the old person restored to legal life; he is a new person.” 1 Frederick Pollock & Frederic William Maitland, History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I 477 (2d ed. 1898).
