An Act to stay the reversing of utlaries after judgement, and to put in Bail upon Writes of Error, and reversing of Outlaries before judgement, and to prevent other abuses committed by Vndersheriffes and Attorneys. Grievance. AFter long time spent with great expense of money in the prosecution, the Pl. obtains a judgement, and after proceeds to the oulawry after judgement, being the utmost proceed of the Law in all personal actions: Notwithstanding upon some sma●l error found in the proceed, these utlaries are oftentimes reversed, without satisfaction, or taking any order with Plaintiffs to th●●r great damage and prejudice. Remedy. Forasmuch as the Law hath not as yet provided any remedy herein, that it may be enacted, that no oulawry after judgement be reversed for any cause whatfoever in the Court of Common Pleas, before the Pl. be satisfied, or the debt or damages otherwise brought into the Court, to satisfy the Pl. if it shall appear to the judges to be a true debt, and not satisfied before. Grievance. After much time and money spent in suing to the oulawry afore judgement, upon Reversals, & Writs of Error allowed upon these utlaries, the Law hath not provided any sufficient Remedy for the Defendants appearance, and putting in bail to the Pl. Action, whereby the said Pl. are exceedingly delayed and hindered in their suits. Remedy. To be enacted, that no oulawry before judgement be reversed, nor any Writ of Er. or allowed thereupon, before the Def. put in good Bail to the Pl. suit, unless he doth make it appear to the Court that the Pl. ●s agreed withal before, as is used upon the Statu● of 31. Eliz. etc. Grievance. All ●one as the Defendants our lawed be arrested upon Writs of oulawry to the Pl. tu the●● cha●ges. Vndersheri●tes their Clerks, and Bailiffs, for their own gain do presently inlarg▪ them without taking any order with Pl. whereby creditors are not only much delayed in their S●●ts, but oftentimes defrauded of the●● lawful debts, to the great dishonour of his Majesty's Laws. Remedy. To be enacted, that no Sheriff●, upon pain of xx li shall enlarge any pers●n arrested upon a Capias vt●egat. before judgement, before he hath taken bond of the Def. with two sufficient sureties, that the Det. shall appear upon the return of the Writ whereupon he was arrested, and put in good Bail to the Pl. suit. It doth also prohibit all Attorneys of the Common Pleas, for to sue forth Writs of Trespass, and other feigned Writs, where the true cause of Action is Debt, for that it breeds many inconveniences and mischiefs to the subject as by the Bill appeareth, and is expressly against the Law and ancient practice of that Court, which hath ever continued constant and certain to the subject, in the ground and foundation of their suits, until of late years. Also by expressing the Fees mentioned in the said Act, It doth ease the subject, of the payment of some unnecessary Fees now demanded and taken, and doth restrain, limit, and make certain other Fees hereafter to be taken by Sheriffs and other Officers about the reversing and executing of Writs of Velary, which before were uncertain and grievous to the subject. The other clauses and provisoes mentioned in the said Bill, are dependant and incident to these grievances aforesaid, and are only expressed therein, for the better declaring and resolving of all doubts that might otherwise arise thereupon.
