judicial writs

judicial writs
In English practice, the capias and all other writs subsequent to the original writ not issuing out of chancery, but from the court to which the original was returnable. Being grounded on what had passed in that court in consequence of the sheriffs return, they were called judicial writs, in contradistinction to the writs issued out of chancery, which were called original writs. 3 Bl.Comm. 282.
Such writs as issue under the private seal of the courts, and not under the great seal of England, and are tested or witnessed, not in the king's name, but in the name of the chief judge of the court out of which they issue. The word "judicial" is used in contradistinction to "original;" original writs being such as issue out of chancery under the great seal, and are witnessed in the king's name. 3 Bl.Comm. 282.
