An Act to stay the reuersing of Vtlaries after Iudgement , and to put in Baile vpon Writtes of Error , and reuersing of Outlaries before Iudgement , and to preuent other abuses committed by Vndersheriffes and Attourneys .

AFter long time spent with great expence of money in the prosecution , the Pl. obtains a Iudgement , and after proceeds to the Vtlary after Iudgement , being the vtmost proceedings of the Law in all personall actions : Notwithstanding vpon some sma●l error found in the proceedings , these Vtlaries are oftentimes reuersed , without satisfaction , or taking any order with Plaintiffes to th●●r great dammage and preiudice .

Forasmuch as the Law hath not as yet prouided any remedie herein , that it may be enacted , that no Vtlary after iudgement be reuersed for any cause whatfoeuer in the Court of Common Pleas , before the Pl. be satisfied , or the debt or dammages otherwise brought into the Court , to satisfie the Pl. if it shall appeare to the Iudges to bee a true debt , and not satisfied before .

After much time and money spent in suing to the Vtlary afore iudgement , vpon Reuersals , & Writs of Error allowed vpon these Vtlaries , the Law hath not prouided any sufficient Remedy for the Defendants appearance , and putting in baile to the Pl. Action , whereby the said Pl. are exceedingly delayed and hindered in their suits .

To be enacted , that no Vtlary before Iudgement be reuersed , nor any Writ of Er. or allowed thereupon , before the Def. put in good Baile to the Pl. suit , vnlesse he doth make it appeare to the Court that the Pl. ●s agreed witha●l before , as is vsed vpon the Statu● of 31. Eliz. &c.

All ●one as the Defendants our lawed be arrested vpon Writs of Vtlary to the Pl. tu the●● cha●ges . Vndersheri●tes their Cle●kes , and Bailif●es , for their owne gaine doe presently inlarg ▪ them without taking any order with Pl. whereby creditors are not on●ly much delayed in their S●●ts , but oftentimes defrauded of the●● lawfull debts , to the great dishonour of his Maiesties Lawes .

To bee enacted , that no Sheriff● , vpon paine of xx li shall enlarge any pers●n arrested vpon a Capias vt●egat . before Iudgement , before hee hath taken bond of the Def. with two sufficient sureties , that the Det. shall appeare vpon the returne of the Writ whereupon he was arrested , and put in good Baile to the Pl. suit .

It doth also prohibit all Attourneys of the Common Pleas , for to sue foorth Writs of Trespasse , and other fained Writs , where the true cause of Action is Debt , for that it breedes many inconueniences and mischiefes to the subiect as by the Bil appeareth , and is expresly against the Law and ancient practise of that Court , which hath euer continued constant and certaine to the subiect , in the ground and foundation of their suits , vntill of late yeeres .

Also by expressing the Fees mentioned in the said Act , It doth ease the subiect , of the payment of some vnnecessary Fees now demanded and taken , and doth restraine , limit , and make certaine other Fees hereafter to be taken by Sheriffes and other Officers about the reuersing and executing of Writs of Velary , which before were vncertaine and grieuous to the subiect .

The other clauses and prouisoes mentioned in the said Bill , are dependant and incident to these grievances aforesaid , and are onely exprest therein , for the better declaring and resoluing of all doubts that might otherwise arise thereupon .
