Summary:
The rules in this series were entered on motion by the plaintiff's attorney. Defendants not required to file special bail endorsed the writ, whereupon the court rule entered the defendant's (fictitious) appearance. Other rules direct the sheriff to re-arrest a defendant who had not put in special bail within twenty days as required. Each entry gives the title of the cause, the rule, the sheriff's fee, and the name of the plaintiff's attorney.
