IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT ACT.—( ionsiderable
doubt appears to have arisen in the minds of the legal pro-
fession, whether by the recent Act, the power a arresting
.a debtor at the coninzencement of an action has, in all cases
been taken away, or whether an action may st.ill be com-
menced by an arrest, as formerly. The 2d set:tion of the
Act directs, that " All personal actions s ball b e commenced
by writ of summons ;" and this would put the matter com-
pletely beyond doubt, were it not for the IT vords of Section 5,
in which we find " that any such special order (viz, the
order for arrest) may be made at any tim e after the com-
mencement of such action, and before final judgment shall
have been obtained therein ; and that a d fendant in cus-
tody upon any such arrest, and not previous sly served with
a copy of the writ of summons, may be i lawfully served
therewith." The latter part of the section ( the language of
which is very ambiguous)seems to provide tha t when a party
is already in custody at the suit of one plain tiff, he may be
served with a writ of summons at the suit of another. It
certainly seems rambling from the mark to I le. compelled to
issue a writ of summons in the first instance, when an arrest
is required to be made instanter; yet, ita Ars scripta est.
The action, however, having been comment ted, an arrest
may be made at any moment, and it seems to. be the pre-
valent opinion in the profession, that an order for arrest
may be obtained, and the writ on such order :sued out im-
mediately after issuing, and before service of tbe summons,
when the defendant may be arrested immediate ly on serving
the summons.
