Sir Henry L. Warden of the Fleet.

RIchardson Serjeant moued for the warden of the Fleet Sir Henry L. and his motion was that whereas one I. S. was in execution, in the Custody of the Warden of the Fleet, for 300. l. and he made an escape, and he at whose suite he was in execution, brought an action upon this escape against the Warden of the Fleet, and he shewed that the Warden upon fresh suit had taken him again, and he prayed that the Plantiff may not proceed in his action, for though the War∣den of the Fleet may plead this, though the action was brought before the retaking of the party, yet he prayed for the saving of charges, that the action may be stayed, and he said, that there was such a case in this Court, against Harris deputy War∣den to Sir Henry. L. upon such an escape, and he pleaded to the issue; and after he retook the prisoner: and in this case the Court had also relieved Harris if the issue had not been joyned, but Hobert, let the Plantiff be brought here present in Court, and then we will speak to that point.
