Case 13.
Oxford and his wife against Crosse. The Plaintiff brought an Action in London for calling the wife of the Plaintiff Whore. The Defendant re∣moved it out of London by habeas corpus. A procedendo was prayed, be∣cause the Action was maintainable in London, though not at Common Law. But it was denyed by the Court; for such a Custome to maintain brabling words is against Law. Coo. 4. 18.
