HENLEY V. Gr`DDARD.

Setjeant 1311LIIY moved for a Rule to thew caufe
why tne Defendant Qiould nr,t be allowed to put in
common bail, and. have the money paid by him to
the Sheriff, in this caufe, reltored. The applicatiou
was founded on the non compliance of the Plaintiff
with the ulnal and neceflary procets of the Court --
The Defendant had been arrefled f9r a debt due in
Ireland, where the affidavit was (worn before the
proper officti. In this country the rapist was atitd
upon the mere affidavit, without a Judges order,
which the. predict of the Court rendered necctrary.
