1. A bench or seat; the bench or tribunal occupied by the judges; the seat of judgment; a court. The full bench, or full court; the assembly of all the judges of a court. A “sitting in bank” is a meeting of all the judges of a court, usually for the

purpose of hearing arguments on demurrers, points reserved, motions for new trial, etc., as distingished from the sitting of a single judge at the assises or at nisi priue and from trials at bar. But, in this sense, Banc is the more usual form of the word.
