Warranty War"rant*y, n.; pl. {Warranties}. [OF. warantie, F. garantie. See {Warrant}, n., and cf. {Guaranty}.] [1913 Webster] 1. (Anc. Law) A covenant real, whereby the grantor of an estate of freehold and his heirs were bound to warrant and defend the title, and, in case of eviction by title paramount, to yield other lands of equal value in recompense.

3. (Insurance Law) A stipulation or engagement by a party insured, that certain things, relating to the subject of insurance, or affecting the risk, exist, or shall exist, or have been done, or shall be done. These warranties, when express, should appear in the policy; but there are certain implied warranties. --Bouvier. [1913 Webster]

4. Justificatory mandate or precept; authority; warrant. [R.] --Shak. [1913 Webster]

If they disobey precept, that is no excuse to us, nor gives us any warranty . . . to disobey likewise. --Kettlewe??. [1913 Webster]

5. Security; warrant; guaranty. [1913 Webster]

The stamp was a warranty of the public. --Locke. [1913 Webster]
