case carver against james if to a action as executor on promise make to the  testator the defendant plead non assumpsit and the statute of limitation a  replication that the testator sue on a writ of privilege and that the cause of  action arise within six year before the writ purchase be bad the plaintiff  bring a action on the case as executor of b carver on many promise make to the  testator in his lifetime the defendant plead two plead first non assumpsit and  second that the cause of action do not arise within six year the plaintiff  reply very particular videlicet that the testator sue a writ of privilege it  be not lie to be deliver to the sheriff but that the sheriff do not return it  and continue it until the testator death by proper continuances be die the  twentyeighth of June and that afterward in Trinity term in the eleven and  twelve year of George the second be sue a capias against the defendant which  be within a year after the testator death and the defendant appear and the  plaintiff declare against he and then say the cause of action arise within six  year before the first writ of privilege purchase on this the defendant  demurrer for want of sufficient return to the writ and though only one cause  of demurrer be assign there be four take first that the writ of privilege be  bad because not returnable on a day certain and if this be bad all the  continuances will be void second the writ be never return and then also all  the continuances build on it must fail three a writ take out within a year  after the testator death be not good and well set out for a original shall be  set forth and not a capias only fourthly that it shall be take out as executor  to b carver will chief justice deliver the opinion of the court I choose to  begin with the three and four objection because though we all agree that the  replication be bad yet we differ in our reason and in these two objection we  all agree that they be of no force for first a capias be sufficient without a  original be the course not to take out a original unless the party be drive to  it as the latitat in the king bench be sufficient to take a cause out of the  statute without a bill of Middlesex Carth side a and we be justify in this by  some adjudge case in the case of Halister v Woolstons easter term Geo b from a  faithful reporter it be hold that a latitat be not the first process but  presuppose a bill of Middlesex modern and in Deathbridges easeMichaelmas term  Geo a it be adjudge that a copy be sufficient without set out the original and  to keep pace modern er p with the court of king bench we judge it to be  sufficient here the reason in both court be the same and we all agree that  this capias be sufficient we also agree in the four that it be plain it be  take out as executor in the other two there be a small variety for we all  think judgement shall be for the defendant because the foundation fail  videlicet that the writ of privilege be not sufficient nor the continuances  because the return ought to be on a certain day but whether it will be void or  voidable only we be not agree but second as to the question whether it ought  to be return the case in Lutw be that it be sufficient without a return but  there be a distinction there which be not in this case for there it do not  appear whether or no there be a return for they say they will intend it be  return which intendment can be here for it be express allege sheriff non to  cause to go breve and in another case in Lutw it be say that case appear by a  manuscript of Lawleys to have be reverse in parliament in and that it shall be  set forth that it be return and in Lutw in the case of green v RevilsSalk SC  ante b the same point be adjudge and all these case seem to be find on Spencer  case   c the reason of which case seem to be the measure of the judgement in  the king bench in the case of Kinsey v Hayward Lut new Lutw ld ray ray Ent d  and after so solemn a adjudication we shall conform our opinion to such  adjudication for my part I shall be of opinion that the writ shall be return  as a foundation to support the continuances which will give the party notice  we all think the first process not sufficient to support the subsequent  continuances but if the first process be right you may continue it down during  the whole six year by sheriff non to cause to go breve
