† O. Ni, oni, phr. Obs.
An abbreviation of the Latin words oneratur, nisi habeat sufficientem exonerationem ‘he is charged, or legally responsible, unless he have a sufficient discharge’, with which the account of a sheriff with the King was formerly marked in the Exchequer; sometimes used subst. as a name for this phrase or the fact itself.

Ni., which is as much to say, as Oneratur, nisi habeat sufficientem exonerationem, and presently he is become the kings debtor, and a Debet set upon his head, and thereupon the parties peravaile are become debtors to the Sheriffe or Escheator, and discharged against the King. 1706Phillips, Oni. a1726Gilbert Treat.
