<p>A freeholder arrested in a capias ad respondendum in slander, can have the-writ abated with costs.-</p>

Rule discharged · Decided 1884-06-02

¶1The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Court of Common Pleas, on the 2nd of June, 1884, in the following opinion :

Per Curiam.

¶2The act of 20 March, 1725, 1 Sm. Laws 164, P. Dig; 63 Pl. 47, lhas never been repealed. As it remains in full force it controls this 'case. The act rests on sound reason. In a civil action arrests should not be encouraged when ample security is otherwise given to the plaintiff for the collection of his claim.

¶3Judgment Affirmed.
