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.
