Engl. law, is the name of a writ whereby a cause being formerly removed by prohibition out of an inferior court into some of the king’s courts in Westminster, is returned thither again: forif the judges of the superior court, comparing the proceedings with the suggestion of the party, find the suggestion false or not proved, and that therefore the cause was wrongfully called from the inferior court, then, upon consultation and deliberation, they decree it to be returned, whereupon this writ issues. T. de la Ley.
