Arrest.

ARrest is when one is taken and restrayned from his libertie. None shalbe arrested for dette, trespasse, detinue, or o∣ther cause of action, but by vertue of a precept or com∣maundement out of some Court. But for Treason, Felonie, or breaking of the peace, euery man hath aucthoritie to arrest with∣out warrant or precept. And where one shalbe ar∣rested for felonie, it behoo∣ueth that some felonie be done, and that he bée sus∣pected of the same Felonie, or otherwise hée may haue agaynst hym that so dyd arrest hym, a writte of false imprisonment. And when anie man shall bée arrested for Felonie, hée shalbée brought to the Gayle, there to abide vn∣till the next Sessions for to bée indicted, or for to be deliuered by Proclamati∣on.
