he threw himself on the mercy of the court
2.a disposition to be kind and forgiving;
in those days a wife had to depend on the mercifulness of her husband
3.the feeling that motivates compassion
4.something for which to be thankful;
it was a mercy we got out alive
5.alleviation of distress; showing great kindness toward the distressed;
distributing food and clothing to the flood victims was an act of mercy
