party_n may_v bring_v a_o action_n against_o the_o shetiff_n that_o refuse_v surety_n it_o be_v a_o maxim_n in_o law_n that_o a_o man_n house_n be_v his_o castle_n so_o that_o the_o sheriff_n can_v break_v it_o open_a for_o a_o execution_n but_o upon_o a_o writ_n of_o seisin_n or_o possession_n the_o sheriff_n and_o other_o officer_n upon_o suspicion_n of_o treason_n or_o felony_n may_v break_v
