Meaning of Quare
(Lat.) In pleading. Wherefore. This word is sometimes used in the writ in certain actions, but is inadmissible in a material averment in the pleadings, for it is merely interrogatory; and therefore, when a declaration began with complaining of the defendant, “wherefore with force, etc., he broke and entered” the plaintiff’s close, it was considered ill. Bac. Abr. “Pleas” (B 5, 4) ; Gould, PL c. 3, § 34.
