puisne
Puisne (; from Old French ''puisné'', modern ''puîné'', later born, inferior; Lat. ''postea'', afterwards, and ''natus'', born) is a legal term of art used mainly in British English〔http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/puisne〕 meaning "inferior in rank". It is pronounced like the word ''puny.'' That word, in the anglicized spelling, has become an adjective meaning weak or undersized.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://logophilius.blogspot.com/2009/06/today-word-puisne.html )〕
The judges and barons of the common law courts at Westminster, other than those having a distinct title, were called puisne. By the Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1877, a "puisne judge" is deemed a judge of the High Court other than the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice of England, the Master of the Rolls, the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, and their successors respectively.〔See the Senior Courts Act 1981, (section 4 ).〕
Puisne courts existed as lower courts in the early stages in the judiciary in British North America, in particular Upper Canada and Lower Canada.
