Statutes.
Westm̄ 2 cap. 46. For all things recorded before the Kings Iustices, or contained in fines (whether contracts, couenants, Obli∣gations, seruices or customes acknowled∣ged, or any other things enrolled) a Writ of Execution shall be within the yeare, so as the parties shall not need to plead: After the yeare a Scire facias. The like is of mesne who by Recognisance or Iudgement is bound to acquit.
In case of life the Iudge may command execution to bee done without any writ.
A woman(a)quicke with child,(b) the triall whereof is by a Iurie of women: and the writ for it is called a writ De ventre in∣spiciendo, shall for(c)once and no more, be respited(a)execution, but it is no plea vp∣on her arraignment, to say, that she is en∣seint, but she must answer to the felonie.
