Statutes.
Westm. 2. cap. 46. For all things re∣corded before the Kings Justices, or contain∣ed in fines (whether contracts, covenants, obligations, services, or customs acknowled∣ged, or any other things enrolled) a writ of Execution shall be within the year, so as the parties shall not need to plead: After the year a Scire facias. The like is of mesne who by Recognisance or Judgment is bound to acquit.
In case of life the Iudg may command execution to be done without any writ.
A woman(a)quick with child(b) the trial whereof is by a Jury of women: and the writ for it is called a writ De ventre inspicien∣do shall for(c)once, and no more, be respited(a)execution, but it is no plea upon her arraignment, to say, that she is enseint, but she must answer to the Felony.
