The act of engrossing the possession or control of goods for sale; specifically, in old English law, the buying or contracting for any merchandise or provisions coming in the way to market, or before market-hours, or dissuading persons from bringing their goods or provisions to that market, or persuading them to enhance the price there: it was formerly a punishable offense.

n. the act of preventing something by anticipating and disposing of it effectively

"AFAIK, some states have such a system set up for pools of lawyers to defend indigents and/or capital cases (where the state has an interest in forestalling “ineffective counsel” appeals and wants to ensure that suitably qualified lawyers are onboard)."
