A bankrupt procures the seizure of his property when the initiation of <the proceeding comes from him, when he is the person who begins to procure, when he caused the thing to be done, in the ordinary sense of the word.' But signing, however reluctantly and imder pressure, a warrant to confess judgment, under a stipulation that the warrant should not unnecessarily be put in force, is " suffering;" a taking. Decisions on "procuring" have no application on " suffering." ^ See further Suffer; Preference. To " procure a female to have illicit carnal connection with any man " refers to intercourse with another than the "procurer" or "procuress."* See Adduction. As to procuress, see Bawd.
