Legal matter (3)

I believe the answer is:

res

'legal matter' is the definition.
(legal term for a thing)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for res that I've seen before include "Notes" , "Latin thing" , "reservation" , "land specially set aside" , "Object" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Penny Press and the King Feature Syndicate.
