Prerogatiue.

The King may haue a distringas to leuie an amercement, or such like, by distresse •• sale, whether it be an Amercement in the Leet, or Sherifes turne, or otherwise.

A Capias ad satisfaciendum is to take his * 1.1 bodie in execution, for satisfying of the partie. And this is alwayes vpon a reco∣uerie * 1.2 in a personall action where a Capias lay. Therefore it lyeth not in any reall acti∣on as in a writ of dower, or other proecipe quod reddat, nor at the Common Law in debt, detinue, account, &c. but in actions of * 1.3 trespasse, and such like. And here an exigent shall be awarded vpon the first Capias, for if he were taken by the Capias, he should pay vnto the King a fine for a trespasse ad∣iudged against hlm.
