A more thorough explanation: “Outfangthief” is a legal term that refers to the right of a lord or landowner to pursue and arrest a thief caught within their jurisdiction and bring them to justice. This term was used in medieval England to describe the authority granted to a landowner to capture and try a thief caught stealing on their property.
Example: The lord asserted his right of outfangtheif, claiming that the thief, though captured on neighboring land, should be tried in his court.
