statement of something which has been done. touchst. 76. 
     2. recitals are used to explain those matters of fact which are 
necessary to make the transaction intelligible. 2 bl. com. 298. it is said 
that when a deed of defeasance recites the deed which it is meant to defeat, 
it must recite it truly. cruise, dig. tit. 32, c 7, s. 28. in other cases it 
need not be so particular. 3 penna. rep. 324; 3 chan. cas. 101; co. litt. 
352 b; com. dig. fait, e 1. 
     3. a party who executes a deed reciting a particular fact is estopped 
from denying such fact; as, when it was recited in the condition of a bond 
that the obligor had received divers sums of money for the obligee which he 
had not brought to account, and acknowledged that a balance was due to the 
obligee, it was holden that the obligor was estopped to say that he had not 
received any money for the use of the obligee. willes, 9, 25; rolle's ab. 
872, 3. 
     4. in pleading, when public statutes are recited, a small variance will 
not be fatal, where by the recital the party is not "tied up to the 
statute;" that is, if the conclusion be contra formam statuti praediti. sav. 
42; 1 chit. crim. law, 276 esp. on penal stat. 106. private statutes must be 
recited in pleading, and proved by an exemplified copy, unless the opposite 
party, by his pleading admit them. 
     5. by the plea of nul tiel record, the party relying on a private 
statute is put to prove it as recited, and a variance will be fatal. see 4

bail. r. 430; 2 b.  a. 625; 2 y.  j. 407; 5 harr.  john. 164; cov. on 
conv. ev. 298, 315; hurl. on bonds, 33; 6 watts  serg. 469. 
     6. formerly, in equity, the decree contained recitals of the pleadings 
in the cause, which became a great grievance. some of the english 
chancellors endeavored to restrain this prolixity. by the rules of practice 
for the courts in equity of the united states it is provided, that in 
drawing up decrees and orders, neither the bill, nor the answer, nor other 
pleading nor any part thereof, nor the report of any master, nor any other 
prior proceedings, shall be stated or recited in the decree or order. rule 
86; 4 bouv. inst. n. 4443.
