SUITS PRO. Suits or actions for breach of faith in civil contracts which the clergy, in the reign of Stephen, introduced into the spiritual courts, by means of which they took cognizance of many matters of contract belonging to the temporal courts under a pretext that faith solemnly plighted was of a religious nature, the breach of which belonged to the spiritual tribunals. 1 Reeve, Hist. Eng. Law, 74.
