Imparlance \Im*par"lance\, n. [Cf. {Emparlance}, {Parlance}.]
   [Written also {inparliance}.]
   1. Mutual discourse; conference. [Obs.]

   2. (Law)
      (a) Time given to a party to talk or converse with his
          opponent, originally with the object of effecting, if
          possible, an amicable adjustment of the suit. The
          actual object, however, has long been merely to obtain
          further time to plead, or answer to the allegations of
          the opposite party.
      (b) Hence, the delay or continuance of a suit.

   Note: Imparlance and continuance by imparlance have been
         abolished in England. --Wharton (Law Dict. ).
