Term: non est inventus

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Non est inventus is a Latin phrase that means "he is not found." It is used in legal contexts to indicate that a person who was ordered to be arrested could not be found in the jurisdiction of the sheriff.

Example: If a sheriff is ordered to arrest someone who has committed a crime, but that person cannot be found in the area where the sheriff has jurisdiction, the sheriff may file a report that says "non est inventus." This means that the person could not be found and therefore could not be arrested.

Explanation: Non est inventus is a legal term that is used to indicate that someone could not be found. It is often used in the context of a sheriff's report when someone has been ordered to be arrested but cannot be found. This term is important because it allows the legal system to keep track of who has been arrested and who has not.
