Procedendo

For proceeding. The name of a writ by which, when a cause has been removed from an inferior to a superior court (as by certiorari), and the grounds of removal appear to the superior court to be insufficient, the cause may be remitted to the inferior com-t, to be proceeded in there to final hearing and determination.

— The term was also applied, in English practice, to a writ issued out of the common-law jurisdiction of the court of chancery, when judges of any subordinate court delayed the parties, not giving judgment either on the one side or on dicium was awarded, commanding the inferior court to proceed to give judgment, but without specifying any particular judgment;

— for that, if erroneous, might be set aside by proceedings in error, or by a writ of false judgment; and, upon further neglect or refusal, the judges of the inferior court might be punished for their contempt by writ of attachment.
