UPLIFTED HAND. When a man accused of a crime is arraigned³, he is required to raise his hand, probably in order to identify the person who pleads. Perhaps for the same reason when a witness adopts a particular mode of taking an oath, as when he does not swear upon the gospel, but upon Almighty⁴ God, he is requested to hold up his hand.

URBAN. Relating to a city; but in a more general sense it signifies relating to houses.

2. It is used in this latter sense in the civil code of Louisiana, articles 706 and 707. All servitudes are established either for the use of houses or for the use of lands. Those of the first kind are called urban servitudes, whether the buildings to which they are due be situated⁵ in the city or in the country. Those of the second kind are called rural servitudes.

3. The principal kinds of urban servitudes are the following: the right of support; that of drip; that of drain, or of preventing the drain, that of view or of lights, or of preventing the view or lights from being obstructed⁶: that of raising buildings or walls, or of preventing them from being raised that of passage and that of drawing water.
