or peremptory is by the Civilians themselves acknowledged to be a deviation à jure communi in casibus necessitatis tantum recepta quando alio modo qui● citari non potest Secondly Vbi locus non est ●utus ubi citandus habitat Thirdly Si persona est vagabunda quo casu edictum eo loco affigi debet ubi solita est conversari That such a possession is notwithstanding but fiduciary and the Plaintiff only put in possession Custodia causa vice pignoris deti●et donee reus veniat responsurus That a 2d trial decree or sentence restitutio in integrum do not seldom afterwards follow And that appeals from the lower Courts or Judges to the higher Commissions of adjuncts and revisions will never allow that Law to be ●o desirable expedite or little chargeable as our Common Laws are which our Novellists would perswade us to renounce and abandon Of which and the disparity of a great part of the Body of the Civil Laws with those of our cipal and common Laws the Dukes Earls and Barons of England were so sensible as in the eleventh year of the Reign of King Richard the 2. in the cause and appeal of Thomas Duke of Glocester and others against Robert de Vere Duke of Ireland the Earl of Suffolk and others they denyed to proceed to Judgment thereupon according to the Law civil and declared que la Roialme de Angliterre ne estoit devant ces Heures ne al intent du Roy signiours de parlement unques ne serra rule ne govern per le ley civil and our Ancestors more than what they retained of some of the actions rules and directions of reason which that excellent Law afforded and was necessary would not as our learned Selden hath observed constanti adhaesione by a constant perseverance and affection be drawn from that singular reverence and esteem which they had of the common Law which so long a course of time and antiquity had fitted to their nature and Genius In so much as William de la Pole Duke of Suffolk was in the Reign of King Henry the sixth accused amongst other things by the Commons in Parliament that he had sought to introduce the Civil Law And the great Cardinal Wolsey was in the Reign of King Henery the eight indicted or informed against quod ipse intendebat finaliter antiquissimas Anglicanas leges penitus subvertere enervare in universum hoc Regnum Anglie ejusdem Regni populum legibus Imperialibus dict legibus Civilibus earundem legum canonibus subjugare And King James coming from a Kingdom where those Laws were much in use and seemed to have some inclination to introduce or intermingle some part of it with our Common Laws did notwithstanding forbear to do it acknowledging that the Civil Law was not applicable to this government or fit for it And our Innovators that have been so wiling to intermingle with their System that part of the Civil Law which in the cases of contumacy did allowe a missio bonorum repleuisable as aforesaid may upon a further search and enquiry satisfie themselves and others that for the expedition of Justice put on and perswaded by the increase of trade and insolvency of debtors the Caesarean or Civil Law hath long ago forsaken their course of granting judgments for not appearing missionem rum and Seisure and found the Citatio realis captura incarceratio to be the more ready and less prejudicial way of compelling debtors or Defendants to appear in judgment For certainly to inforce perswade or give a libertie to the people in their Law Suits and concernments depending thereupon to circulate when they may go a more easy and less expensive way nearer more streight and better conducing to their honest ends will be but to vex and tire both Plaintiffs and defendants and multiply their charges When to draw and prepare the declarations which in Debt and common Actions were until the fourteenth year of the Reign of King James to be entred by the Filacers and ought yet if the cause or reason of their remitting that ancient part of their imployment do cease and be taken away the Plaintiffs will in this new devised expedient for a quick and Pie-powder Course of Justice be put to a charge for the drawing of their Declarations before hand when it may be there will be no need of them and to pay for the Copies of them which in a more regular course after apparances entred were to be payed for by the Defendants And to the Trouble and charge of entring judgments and the hazard of the loss of charges poundage aud other fees payd to Sheriffs and Bayliffs upon execution or paying of damages where they are wrongfully or not well obtained multitude of Affidavits pro con of motions in Court on the one side and the other many referrences and reports wagers of non-summons writs of restitution actions on the case for non summons or for slander or defamation brought for malitious contrivances cum muliis aliis which will increase and heighten the Bill of Charges And that goods Seized inventaried and sold by under Sheriffs and Bayliffs at half or less value though it may suffice one greedy and merciless Creditor will not be unlikely to defeat another or many others of their more just debts and utterly blast the Debtor in his credit by which he might well have subsisted and survived the disgrace and trouble of so furious a prosecution And that the long ago trodden path or way of compelling or bringing men unto judgment or unto Courts of Justice would not so frequently be made use of in England the way of Summons Pone and distress being not yet altogether forsaken and disused as it was formerly for that betwixt the Reigns of Canutus a Danish King the 25 year of the reign of King Edward the Third and for some ages after there neither could be any either frequency of arrest or necessity for it as there hath been since and is now CHAP. III. The reason and necessity of the more frequ●nt use of VVrits of Arrest and Outlawry then was before thi making of the Statute of 25 E. ca. 17. IN regard that in those former Ages there were more Lands than Tenants more real Estates but little personal the Trade of the Nation not the fortieth part of what it is now so little before the Reign of King Edward the third as those few Merchants that came hither had Letters of safe conduct granted unto them before they came and that the Commerce and Trade which was in King Edward the Third's time long after was only with the Esterlings and Hanse Towns Burgundy Aquitaine some Genoese and Italian Merchants the Turky East and West Indy and Affrican trades not then or long after known or used Usury so horrid and damnable a Crime as it was a cause of Excommunication denyal
