dóm-hringr, m. 'doom-ring, ' 'judgment-ring;' (cp. also vé-bönd, the

sacred bounds ^r b a r): the courts of heathen times were surrounded by

the domhringr, about a bow-shot from the centre where the benches

were placed; no evil-doer might enter this hallowed ring, or commit an

act of violence within it; if he did so, he was called a vargr í veum

(lupus in sanctii); the Engl. law term ' bar' answers to this old word, cp. Gr. SpvcþaKTOi, Lat. cancelli; the Goth, staua, •=•• court and judge, properly

means a staff, bar; the bar was, according to Eg. 1. c., a pole of hazel-

wood, hesli-stengr: classical passages referring to this, -- þar sér enn dóm-

hring þann, er menu vóru dæmdir í til blóts, í þeim hring stendr Jjurs

steinn, etc., Eb. ch. lo; þar stendr enn þórs steinn ... ok þar ' hjá'

(better) er s;i domhringr er (in which) menu skyldi til blóts dæma, Landn.

98: another classical passage is Eg. ch. 57 beginning; cp. also Fas. iii.

Gautr. S. ch. 7, Edda 10, though the ' ring' is not expressly mentioned in

these last two passages: hann gengr í domhringinn ok setzk niðr, Band.

6; en peir eigu at rísa ór dóminum ok sitja í dómhring innan meðan

um þá sök er dæmt, Grág. i. 78, cp. 17, 26: in early heathen times this

sacred circle was formed by a ring of stones, cp. dóm-stcinar: no doubt

some of the so-called Celtic or Druidical stone circles are relics of these

public courts, e. g. the Stones of Stennis in the Orkneys; cp. Scott's last

note to the Pirate, referring to this subject: even in later times, when

the thing was obsolete, the name still remained.

dóm-hús, n. the 'house of doom, ' court-bouse, Sks. 784; the idea is

foreign, though the word is native: the old courts and meetings were

always held in the open air.

(mod.)

dóm-leggja, lagði, a law term, to lay before a court, Dipl. iii. 13.

dóm-nefna, u, f. the nomination of judges in the Icel. court, described

in ib. ch. 5; in parliament the goðar (priests) had the right to appoint

the judges, Grág. i. 25; þeir (viz. the priests) skyldu domnefnur eiga á

þingum, Fms. iii. 106.

DÓMR, in. [Goth, dams, which occurs once, but not in Ulf., vvho

only uses the word in compds, and renders Kpiais and Kptrris by siaua;

A. S. dôm; F, ngl. d oow and the termin. -dom; O. H. G. torn; known in

Germ, only from the termin. -turn (-thum)'] . I. a court of judgment,

the body of judges, or the 'court' itself; the Icel. law of the Common-

wealth distinguishes between several bodies of judges; in parliament

there were Fjórðungs-dómar, ' Quarter Courts, ' one for each of the poli-

tical quarters of the country, Breiðfirðinga-d. or Vesttirðinga-d. for the

West, Rangaeinga-d. for the South, Eyiîrðinga-d. or Norðlendinga-d. lor

the North, and Austfirðinga-d. for the East; these courts were instituted

by Thord Gellir A. D. 964: at a later date a fifth High Court, called

Fimtar-domr, the Fifth Court, was erected about A. D. 1004; vide Nj.

ch. 98, íb. ch. 8, Grág., esp. f). fx in the first chapters, and many passages

in the Sagas, esp. Nj., Sturl.; and of mod. authors, Konrad Maurer in his

essay, Die Entstehung des Icel. Staates, Ed. 1852, Dasent's Introd. to

Burnt Njal; -- the treatise of Maurer is an indispensable guide in matters

of the Fimtar-domr. There are other courts on record, e. g. dyra-dómr,

a court at the door of the defendant, vide Eb. ch. 18 and N. G. L.; mi

skal dóm setja fyrir durum verjanda, en eigi á. bak hnsi; hann (viz. the

plaintiff) skal setja dóm sinn eigi nær húsi en svá, at verjandi (the defender)

megi setja sinn dóm milli dura ok dóms hans ok aka hlassi viðar milli

dóms ok dura (vide dæma), N. G. L. i. 22: technical law-phrases as to the

courts, setja dom, to set the court, let the judges take their seats; durmr

fara lit, the courts 'fare out, ' i. e. open; faera lit dom, dúma-iitfærsla, i. e.

the opening of the courts, Grug. i. 27, -- the judges went out in a body in

procession and took their seats; ryðja dóm, to challenge the court, Nj.;

ganga at dúmi, to go info court; nefna dom, to name the judges (iK'. ui-

nefna); sitja í dómi, t o s it in court; múl ferr í dom, a case goes into

court; hleypa upp dómi, to break up the court by force; bera K i dóm,

to bribe the court; dóms-afglapan, vide afglapan; -- for all these phrase?,

vide Grág., |x þ. in the first chapters, Nj., esp. ch. 140 sqq., Eg. ch. 57,

N. G. L. i, Gþl. This sense is now almost obsolete, but it remains in

the Manx demster and Scot, dooinster. II. doom, judgment, sen-

tence, and this may be the original sense; dóms-atkvæði, dóms-orð,

and dóms-uppsaga mean doom, sentence, as pronounced by the pre-

siding judge, Nj., H. E. ii. 115, Sks. 159, Band. 6, Grág. i. 3, 83; dóma-

dagr, doomsday, 'he day of judgment; Norna-dómr, the doom of the

as heiðin-dómr, Kristin-dómr, the heathen, Christian age, faith; konung-

to lift out of heathendom, baptize, Sighvat. 2. helgir dómar, relics, Bs.,
