Roll.

This entry of a bill of Middlefex will serve to illuftrate the practice upon other process, for if the process fued forth be a latitat or attachment of privilege in B. R. it must be fet forth upon the roll, with the return, in the fame formand fuch procefs when returned must be taken to the figner of the writs in B. R. to file the fame, and the roll carried to the clerk of the judgments to be entered and docquetted; the plaintiff's attorney making out a docquet paper in this

manner :

Entry of William Lyon, gentleman, one, &c.

Middlefex, to wit. Entry of a bill to fave the ftatute between 1. B. plaintiff, and C. D. and E. F. defendants.

Returnable, &c.

Roll.

If in B. R. the process fued forth is an original or capias, the entry thereof, with the return, muft be made out accordingly and docquetted, fuch process when returned being filed with the filazer.

So, in C. B. if it be an original or capias, the same muft be filed with the filazer; and the roll carried in and docquetted with the clerk of the judgments.

If a plaintiff would take advantage of procefs fued out in this manner; upon the defendant's coming into court afterwards and pleading the ftatute in bar of the action, the plaintiff muft fhew that he has continued the writ to the time of the action brought, and muft fet forth that the first writ was returned. For if the defendant plead non affumpfit infra sex annos ante exhibitionem billa and the plaintiff tenders an iffue thereon and iffue be taken, the plaintiff cannot give the latitat in evidence; for a latitat may either be the commencement of the action, or only procefs to bring the defendant into court; and as procefs it may be fued out before the cause of action accrues.
