1) n. an order (writ) of a court which directs a law enforcement officer (usually
a sheriff) to arrest and bring a person before the judge, such as a person who is
charged with a crime, convicted of a crime but failed to appear for sentencing,
owes a fine or is in contempt of court. A "bench warrant" is an order to appear
issued by the court when a person does not appear for a hearing, which can be resolved
by posting bail or appearing. A "search warrant" is an order permitting a law enforcement
officer to search a particular premises and/or person for certain types of evidence,
based on a declaration by a law enforcement official, including a district attorney.
2) v. to claim to a purchaser that merchandise is sound, of good quality or will
perform as it should, or that title to real property belongs to the seller.
