RECESSION. A re-grant: the act of returning the title of a country to a go- vernment which formerly¹ held it, by one which has it at the time; as the recession of Louisiana, which took place by the treaty between France and Spain, of October 1, 1800. See 2 White's Coll. 516.

RECIDIVE, French law. The state of an individual who commits a crime or misdemeanor, after having once been condemned² for a crime or misdemeanor; a relapse.

2. Many states provide, that for a second offence, the punishment shall be increased in those cases the indictment³ should set forth⁴ the crime or mis-dmeanor as a second offence.

3. The second offence must have been committed after tho conviction for the first; a defendant⁵ could not be convicted of a second offence, as such, until after he had suffered a punishment for the first. Dall. Diet. h. t.

RECIPROCAL CONTRACT, civil law. One in which the parties enter into mutual⁶ engagements.

2. They are divided into perfect and imperfect. When they are perfectly⁷ reciprocal, the obligation of each of the parties is equally a principal part of the contract, such as sale, partnership⁸, &c. Contracts imperfectly reciprocal are those in which the obligation of one of the parties only is a principal obligation of the contract; as, mandate⁹, deposit, loan for use, and the like. In all reciprocal contracts the consent of the parties must be ex- pressed. Poth. Obl. n. 9; Civil Code of Louis. art. 1758, 1759.

RECIPROCITY. Mutuality¹⁰; state, quality or character of that which is reciprocal.

2. The states of the Union are bound to many acts of reciprocity. The constitution requires that they shall deliver to each other fugitives¹¹ from justice; that the records of one state, properly authenticated¹², shall have full credit in the other states; that the citizens of one state shall be citizens of any state into which they may remove. In some of the states, as in Pennsylvania, the rule with regard to the effect of a discharge under the insolvent¹³ laws of another state, are reciprocated¹⁴; the discharges of those courts which respect the discharges of the courts of Pennsylvania, are respected in that state.
