Subject: Ex relatione

"Ex relatione", also abbreviated "ex rel.",
is defined in Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition,
to mean:


"Upon relation or information.

"Legal proceedings which are instituted by the attorney
 general (or other proper person) in the name and behalf
 of the state, but on the information and at the 
 instigation of an individual who has a private interest
 in the  matter, are said to be taken 'on the relation'
 (ex relatione) of such person, who is called the 'relator.'
 Such a cause is usually entitled thus:  'State ex rel.
 Doe v. Roe.'

"In the books of reports, when a case is said to be 
 reported ex relatione, it is meant that the reporter
 derives his account of it, not from personal knowledge,
 but from the relation or narrative of some person who
 was present at the argument."


By the way, the pronunciations in Black's, of certain
Latin words, are incorrect.
