* FETTERS *
A sort of iron put on the legs of malefactors or persons accused of crimes.
When a prisoner is brought into court to plead he shall not be put in fetters unless good cause be shown. An officer having arrested a defendant on a civil suit or a person accused of a crime, has no right to handcuff him unless it is necessary or he has attempted to escape.
