From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Main·per·nor n.  Law A surety, under the old writ of mainprise, for a prisoner's appearance in court at a day.
 Note: ☞ Mainpernors differ from bail in that a man's bail may imprison or surrender him before the stipulated day of appearance; mainpernors can do neither; they are bound to produce him to answer all charges whatsoever.
