Interdicted of fire and water
INTERDICTED OF FIRE AND WATER. Formerly those persons who were banished for
some crime, were interdicted of fire and water; that is, by the judgment
order was given that no man should receive them into his house, but should
deny them fire and water, the two necessary elements of life.
