a_o latitat_fw-la can_v not_o know_v the_o cause_n of_o action_n until_o the_o declaration_n and_o this_o reason_n hold_v in_o the_o common_a plea_n where_o the_o defendant_n be_v arrest_v upon_o a_o general_a clausum_fw-la fregit_fw-la but_o in_o other_o special_a writ_n where_o the_o very_a declaration_n be_v in_o the_o writ_n and_o the_o defendant_n may_v when_o he_o be_v arrest_v see_v the_o declaration_n in_o the_o writ_n there_o he_o ought_v not_o imparle_v but_o to_o answer_v the_o first_o term_n as_o well_o in_o the_o king_n bench_n upon_o their_o new_a writ_n of_o aceciam_fw-la bille_fw-la as_o in_o the_o common_a plea_n upon_o special_a writ_n of_o sign_v and_o enter_v of_o judgement_n by_o the_o course_n of_o the_o court_n after_o the_o ordinary_a rule_n give_v in_o the_o office_n be_v out_o the_o plaintiff_n may_v enter_v judgement_n by_o nichil_fw-la dicit_fw-la if_o the_o defendant_n do_v not_o plead_v and_o this_o be_v as_o well_o in_o ejectment_n as_o in_o all_o other_o personal_a action_n without_o move_v of_o the_o court_n but_o of_o late_o it_o have_v be_v use_v in_o quare_fw-la impedit_fw-la and_o ejectment_n to_o move_v the_o court_n before_o they_o enter_v judgement_n and_o so_o be_v the_o common_a practice_n now_o use_v but_o in_o all_o real_a action_n no_o judgement_n be_v to_o be_v enter_v by_o nichil_fw-la dicit_fw-la without_o motion_n in_o court_n and_o there_o be_v former_o a_o rule_n make_v that_o no_o judgement_n by_o default_n shall_v be_v enter_v in_o ejectment_n without_o move_v the_o court_n which_o rule_n be_v afterward_o alter_v by_o another_o and_o then_o judgement_n may_v have_v be_v enter_v by_o default_n upon_o a_o rule_n enter_v by_o the_o secondary_a so_o as_o the_o parish_n where_o the_o land_n lie_v be_v

then_o by_o the_o course_n of_o the_o court_n the_o defendant_n must_v answer_v the_o first_o term_n because_o he_o have_v stand_v out_o so_o many_o process_n and_o in_o such_o case_n the_o court_n do_v not_o use_v to_o change_v the_o visne_n of_o attachment_n upon_o contempt_n if_o a_o attachment_n be_v grant_v upon_o a_o contempt_n swear_v by_o affidavit_fw-la as_o it_o ought_v and_o the_o defendant_n be_v arrest_v thereupon_o and_o bring_v into_o court_n he_o ought_v to_o be_v commit_v to_o the_o fleet_n and_o then_o to_o be_v examine_v upon_o interrogatory_n if_o he_o clear_v himself_o upon_o his_o oath_n he_o shall_v be_v discharge_v and_o have_v his_o cost_n pay_v he_o by_o the_o prosecutor_n if_o guilty_a he_o shall_v be_v fine_v but_o in_o this_o case_n the_o prosecutor_n shall_v not_o be_v admit_v to_o prove_v the_o defendant_n guilty_a after_o he_o have_v clear_v himself_o upon_o his_o oath_n but_o the_o course_n now_o use_v in_o such_o case_n be_v for_o
