Of this nature are two speciall writs by the Kings prerogatiue. Capias pro fine Regis, and capias vtlagatum.
Capias pro fine Regis, when the partie is adiudged to pay a fine vnto the King.
Capias vtlagatum, to take one outlawed, which is a kind of Iudgement and deter∣mination of the originall writ as appeared before.
These are the Iudiciall writs within the yeare and day.
A scire facias which lyeth after the yeare and the day, is to warne the defendant vp∣on recouerie in reall actions, for in personal actions debt onely lay after the yeare, which is a new originall, till Westm̄ 2. cap. 45. gaue a scire facias, to shew cause why the Plaintife should not haue execution. Ther∣fore here the defendant may plead matters growing after iudgement rendred to oust the other of his execution, as outlawry, &c. or a release of all actions, for in as much as he may plead vpon this scire facias, it may well be called an action, though it be but a writ of execution. But notwithstanding that a man which recouereth debt or da∣mages, release to the defendant all actions, yet he may lawfully sue execution by a fieri facias, Capias ad satisfaciendum, &c. for these cannot be called actions. Here vpon a Nihil returned, execution shall bee presently a∣gainst the parties to the iudgement. But not (b) against Executors, or Administra∣tors, nor in a scire facias vpon a (c) Recog∣nisance or (d) Charter of pardon, vpon an outlawrie, or such like, or to (e) repeale a patent, for in all these cases two Nihils must be first returned. And therefore a scire facias sicut alias shall go forth. And the (f) Solem∣nities of sōmons, attachment, essoyne, view of land, &c. lie not in this writ.
