2. General Form of Ca. Su. (f).

[Title, &c., as in fi. fa., ante, p. 390, No. 2.]

Edward the Seventh [&c., as in fi. fa., ante, p. 390, No. 2], to the sheriff of, greeting (g):

(e) The Debtors Act, 1869 (32 & 33 Vict. c. 62), s. 4, abolished arrest or imprisonment for default in payment of a sum of money other than a Crown debt, except in the following cases :

"1. Default in payment of a penalty, or sum in the nature of a penalty, other than a penalty in respect of any contract :

2. Default in payment of any sum recoverable summarily before a justice or justices of the peace:

"3. Default by a trustee or person acting in a fiduciary capacity, and ordered to pay by a Court of equity any sum in his possession or under his control :

4. Default by an attorney or solicitor in payment of costs when ordered to pay costs for misconduct as such, or in payment of a sum of money when ordered to pay the same in his character of an officer of the Court making the order:

"5. Default in payment for the benefit of creditors of any portion of a salary or other income in respect of the payment of which any Court having jurisdiction in bankruptcy is authorized to make an order:

"6. Default in payment of sums in respect of the payment of which orders are in this Act authorized to be made :

“Provided, first, that no person shall be imprisoned in any case excepted from the operation of this section for a longer period than one year; and, secondly, that nothing in this section shall alter the effect of any judgment or order of any Court for payment of money, except as regards the arrest and imprisonment of the person making default in paying such money.'

By the Debtors Act, 1878 (41 & 42 Vict. c. 54), in any case within the above exceptions 3 and 4, any Court or Judge, making the order for payment, or having jurisdiction in the proceeding wherein the order is made, may grant or refuse, absolutely or upon terms, any application for a writ of attachment, or other process or order of arrest or imprisonment, or any application to stay the operation of such suit, process or order, or for discharge from arrest or imprisonment thereunder.

By reason of these Acts, the writ of ca. sa. is now seldom used; but it may still be resorted to in cases within the exceptions mentioned in sect. 4, and it is therefore retained in its place here. As to the writ generally, see 2 Pract. 14th ed. 889 et seq. (f) This writ is a writ of execution within the meaning of the R. S. C., and all the provisions of these Rules as to issuing execution apply to this writ (see Ord. XLII., r. 8). The above form is framed from that prescribed by the R. H. T., 1853.

(g) As to the direction of the writ and the form of direction to the different sheriffs, see ante, p. 392.
