What does Adjudge mean in American Law?

The definition of Adjudge in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:

Essentially the same as adjudicate, except that the ordinary legal speaker would be much more likely to describe a criminal defendant as “adjudged guilty” than “adjudicated guilty.” (But that speaker would be even more likely to describe the defendant as “found guilty.”) In addition, while “adjudicate” and “adjudication” can, in some contexts, refer to a process of judging prior to decision or entry of judgment, something described as adjudged would almost certainly mean decided, with the implication that a judgment had been formally entered.
