Catalla Alternative Definition
(Law Lat.) In old English law. Chattels, or catals, as anciently written. A term including all property movable and immovable, except fees and freeholds. This word is considered by Spelman as derived, by contraction, from capitalia. The singular, catallum (q.v.), rarely occurs, although Bracton uses it in several places. Catalla, according to the same writer, had nearly or quite the sense of averia (beasts or cattle), being demandable under that name. Bracton, fol. 159b. See “Averia.” It seems to have been, from a very early period, united with the word bona, in the phrase bona et catalla, of which the familiar modern phrase “goods and chattels” is a translation. Bracton, fol. 60b; Reg. Grig. 140, 141.
