The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary

A writ in vogue in North Carolina to bring up the proceedings of a justice of the peace into a court of record. It is an adoption of the English vrrit, Recordari facias loquelam (q. v.). It is used to review matters apparent of record, or when the remedy by appeal is lost without the fault of the party, its general nature and scope being similar to that of certiorari.

See 65 N. C. 211; 82 N. C. 236; 89 N. C. 198.
