quo and 't is in nature of a Contract raised by Law By the Words of the Capias ad satisfaciend ' it doth appear that the design of the Writ is to enforce the Payment of the the debt by the Imprisonment of the Defendant The Sheriff thereupon returns that he hath taken the Body and that the Defendant hath paid the Mony to him for which reason he discharged him and for this Return he was amerced not because he discharged the Party but because he had not brought the Mony into the Court for the Law never intended that a Man should be kept in Prison after he had paid the debt In this Case the Defendant can have no remedy to recover it again of the Marshal because it was not a bare Payment to him but to pay it over again to the Plaintiff and likewise in consideration that he should be discharged from his Imprisonment If it should be objected by the Marshal that the Plaintiff hath an Action of Escape against him and likewise by the Plaintiff that he did not make the Gaoler his Steward or Bayliff to receive his Mony Answ The Gaoler is made his Bayliff to keep the Party in Execution and it would be very hard that when the Prisoner will lay down his Mony in discharge of the Debt that the Gaoler should not have full power to discharge him If he had come in Michaelmas-Term after the long Vacation and informed the Court that he had offered to pay the Execution Mony to the Marshal and that he would not take it and that the Plaintiff could not be found the Court would have made a Rule to help him Mr. Holt contra If the Payment had béen good to the Sheriff or Marshal yet 't is not pleadable to the second Execution because 't is matter in fact That which hath been objected that the Party shall plead to a second Execution that his Goods were taken by a former Fieri Facias cannot be for no such Plea can be good because by that Writ the Sheriff hath express Authority to levy the Mony and the Plea is not Payment to the Sheriff but that the Mony was levyed by him by virtue of the Writ which ought to be brought into the Court and an Audita Querela lies against the Plaintiff and then the Defendant is to be bailed 1 Leon. 141. Askew versus the Earl of Lincoln Jones and Rainsford were of Opinion that the Defendant might have remedy against the Marshal to recover his Mony again and that the Payment to him was no discharge to the Plaintiff at whose Suit he was in Execution But Iustice Wyld was of another Opinion Quaere The Lord Marquess of Dorchester's Case In Communi Banco IN a Scandalum Magnatum Visne not changed in a Scandalum Magnatum Serjeant Pemberton moved to have good Bail which the Court denied and said that in such Case Bail was not requirable but notwithstanding the Defendant consented to put in 50 l. Bail And then upon the usual Affidavit moved to change the Visne the Action being laid in London which was opposed by the Serjeant who desired that it might be tried where it was laid but he said in this Case that the Visne could not be changed 1. Because the King is a Party to the Suit for 't is tam pro Domino Rege quam pro seipso 2. The Plaintiff is a Lord of Parliament which is adjourned and will meet and therefore it would be inconvenient to try the Cause in the Country since the Service of the King and Kingdom both require his Attendance here and he said that upon the like Motion in B. R. between the Lord Stamford and Needham the Court would not change the Visne North Chief Iustice said that he always took it as a current Opinion that in a Scandalum Magnatum the Visne could not be changed for since it was in the nature of an Information it being tam quam 't was advisable whether it was not within the Statute of 21 Jac. which doth appoint Informations to be tried in their proper Counties But Iustice Atkins inclined that the Visne might be changed for though by the Wisdom of the Law a Iury of the Neighbourhood are to try the Cause yet in point of Iustice the Court may change the Visne to which it was objected that then there would be no difference between local and transitory Actions Actions of Debt and Accompt shall be brought in their proper Counties 6 R. 2. and it was agreed that an Attorney is sworn to bring Actions no where else But the Court not agréeing at last the Defendant was willing that the Cause should be tried in London if the Plaintiff would consent not to try it before the first Setting in the next Term. And as to that reason offered why the Visne should not be changed because the Plaintiff was a Lord of Parliament Iustice Atkins said that did not satisfie him it might be a good ground to move for a Trial at the Barr to which it was answered that in the Case of the Earl of Shaftsbury the Court would not grant a Tryal at the Barr without the Consent of the Defendant The Visne was not changed Beaver versus Lane COvenant made to Baron and Feme Covenant to Baron and Feme the Baron alone may bring the Action the Husband alone brings the Action quod teneat ei conventionem secundum formam effectum cujusdam Indenturae inter Querentem ex una parte Defendentem ex altera parte confect ' and this was for not repairing his House After Verdict for the Plaintiff it was moved in Arrest of Iudgment because of this variance But the Court Ordered that the Plaintiff should have his Iudgment for the Indenture being by Baron and Feme it was therefore true that it was by the Baron and the Action being brought upon a Covenant concerning his Houses and going with them though it be made to him and his Wife yet he may refuse quoad her and bring the Action alone And the Chief Iustice said that he remembred an Authority in an old Book that if a Bond be given to Baron and Feme the Husband shall bring the Action alone which shall be looked upon to be his refusal as to her Calthrop versus Phillips THE Question was Supersedeas must be delivered by the old Sheriff to the new one Mod. Rep. 222. in regard a Supersedeas is not returnable in the Court whether the old Sheriff is bound to deliver it over to the new one or no and it was urged that it ought not because the old Sheriff is to keép it for his indempnity and he may have occasion to plead it But on the other side it was insisted by Serjeant George Strode that it ought to be delivered to the new Sheriff and that there was a Writ in the Register which proved it fol. 295. and if it should be otherwise these inconveniences would follow 1.
