Agcedas Ad Curiam

Lat. (You go to the court.)

In English practice. A writ which lies at common law, to remove a cause from an inferior court not of record, such as a hundred court, or court baron, into one of the superior courts. 3 Bl. Com. 34. F. ^T. B. 18. 146 E. Termes de la ley. 1 Tidd's Pract. 38. The writ is directed to the sheriff, commanding him to go to the court designated, where the suit or plaint is pending, and there to make a record of such plaint, {recordari facias loquelam,) and to have such record before the superior court, at a day specified. Reg. Grig. 5 b. Dyer fol. 169, n. 20. It is peculiar for the most part to the action of replevin, and is merely a recordari facicu loquelam, with a clause of accedas ad curiam, whence its name. 2 Tidd*s Pr. 414, 416.
