E. I. Company against Attorney General.
The Answer of Sir Philip York Knight, His Majesty's
Attorney General, to the Appeal of the United Company of Merchants of England trading to The East Indies, was brought in.
Bp. of Ely against Dr Bentley, in Error;
The Lord Raymond, Chief Justice of the Court of
King's Bench, in the usual Manner, delivered in, at the
Table, Two Transcripts of Records on Two several Writs
of Error; in One of which Writs,
Thomas Lord Bishop of Ely is Plaintiff, against
Doctor Richard Bentley Defendant;
And in the other,
and Seymour against Whinyates.
Edward Seymour Esquire is Plaintiff, against
Charles Whinyates Esquire Defendant.
Process in Courts of Equity effectual, Heads for a Bill for.
The Lord Delawarr reported from the Lords Committees appointed to consider of Heads prepared by the
Judges, the last Session of Parliament, for a Bill to make
Process in Courts of Equity effectual, against Persons who
absent themselves, and cannot be served; "That the Committee have met, and considered the Matters to them referred, and have heard some of the Judges in relation
thereunto; and are of Opinion, that a Bill be brought
in, for making Process in Courts of Equity effectual,
against Persons who abscond, and cannot be served
therewith, or who refuse to appear, upon the following Heads; (videlicet,)
"1. That where a Suit is, or hereafter shall be, depending in any Court of Equity; if, upon the Return of
the Subpæna, any Defendant, against whom such Process issued, shall not appear, and Affidavit be made,
"That, upon Inquiry at his usual Place of Abode, he
could not be found, so as to be served with such Process;" and also sufficient Proof being made upon Oath,
that he is gone out of the Realm, or absconds within
the Realm, to avoid being served therewith; in such
Case, the Court may make an Order, limiting the
Party to appear at a certain Day therein to be named,
a Copy whereof shall be posted up at the The Royal
Exchange in London, and likewise inserted in the
London Gazette, and published in the Parish Church
in which Parish the Party made his usual Abode
before such absenting himself, on some Lord's Day,
immediately after Divine Service; and if the Party
do not appear within the Space of after
such Order made, and such Publication thereof as
aforesaid, whereof also sufficient Proof shall be made,
the Court, being satisfied of the Truth of the Premises,
may order the said Bill to be taken pro confesso, and
may make such Decree therein as shall be thought
just, and may thereupon award Execution, by Sequestration of the Real and Personal Estate of the Party
absenting, if any such can be found, or such Part
thereof as the Court shall think fit, until the Demand
of the Plaintiff or Plaintiffs in the said Suit shall be
thereout satisfied, according to the true Intent and
Meaning of the said Decree; such Plaintiff giving
sufficient Security to restore all such Estate so seized,
or the Value thereof, or to abide such Order as the
Court shall make concerning the same, upon the Appearance of such Defendant to defend such Suit, and
his paying such Costs to the Plaintiff as the Court
shall order, by reason of the Delay or other Damage occasioned to the Plaintiff by such Defendant's
Non-appearance as aforesaid; but in case the Plaintiff shall not give such Security, to the Satisfaction of
the Court, then it may be in the Power of the Court
to order the Estate so sequestered to remain under
the Direction of the Court, until the Appearance of
the Defendant to defend such Suit, and pay such
Costs and Damage to the Plaintiff as the said Court
shall think reasonable.
"2. That in case any Defendant shall be taken by
virtue of Process from any such Court of Equity,
and, being brought into Court, shall resuse or neglect to enter his Appearance, or appoint a Clerk
in Court to act on his Behalf; the Court may appoint
a Clerk in Court to enter an Appearance for him,
and such Proceedings thereupon may be had as if the
Party had actually appeared.
"3. That if the Person, against whom such Decree
shall be made, upon Refusal or Neglect to enter his
Appearance, or appoint a Clerk in Court to act for
him, shall be in Custody, or forthcoming, so that he
may be served with a Copy of such Decree; he shall
be served with a Copy thereof, before any Execution
shall be taken out thereon.
"4. That if the Defendant, against whom such Decree shall be made, while out of the Realm, or absconding in Manner aforesaid, shall afterwards return,
or become publicly visible, he shall likewise be served
with a Copy of such Decree in a reasonable Time;
or in case any Defendant, against whom such Decree
shall be made, shall happen to die before his Return
or appearing openly, or shall die in Custody before
his being served with a Copy of such Decree; then
his Heir (if he have any Real Estate) or the Guardian, Husband, or Committee of such Heir, in case
he or she be Infant, Feme Covert, or Non Compos Mentis; and his Executor or Administrator (if any such
there be), shall be served with a Copy of such Decree
within a reasonable Time, in case such Heir, Executor, or Administrator, can be found, to be served
therewith.
"5. That if the Person or Persons, so served with a
Copy of such Decree, shall not appear within
Months after such Service, and petition to have the
said Cause re-heard; the said Decree shall stand absolutely confirmed, against the Persons so served, and all
Persons claiming, or to claim under them, by any Act
done, or to be done, subsequent to the Commencement of such Suit.
"6. That if any Person, so served with a Copy of
such Decree, shall, within Months after such
Service, appear in Court, and petition to be heard
with respect to the Matter of such Decree, and shall
pay down, or give Security for Payment of, such Costs
as the Court shall think reasonable in that Behalf; the
Person or Persons so petitioning, his or their Representatives, or any claiming under him or them before the Commencement of the Suit, may be admitted to answer the Bill exhibited; and Issue may be
joined, and Witnesses on both Sides examined; and
such other Proceedings, Decree, and Execution, may
be had thereon, as might have been if the same Party
had originally appeared, and the Proceedings were
newly begun, and no former Decree or Proceeding
had been in the same Cause."
