Arrest money and carceraticum (attachment fee)
Formerly, in the course of compulsory enforcement (CH: Betreibung; compulsory enforcement) of a claim, a payment to be made in advance to the authority by a creditor in the application for arrest when the debtor is requested to be imprisoned. This was to cover the expenses for the food (Atz: therefore sometimes also Atzgeld and Atzungsgeld) of the arrested person (Arrestant; prisoner). A creditor’s claim against the debtor arose in the amount of the arrest money he paid. – See bank money, collection, catch money, fist pawn credit, money collection, justice money, keichengeld, child pawn, customer, lazy, corpse pawn, payment morality.
