Return irreplevisable

A writ allowed by the statute of Westm. 2, c. 2, to a defendant who had had judgment upon verdict or demurrer in an action of replevin, or after the plnintiff had, on a writ of second deliverance, become a second lime nonsuit in such action. By this writ the goods were refumed to the defendant, and the plnintiff was restrained from suing out a fresh replevin. Previously to this statute, an unsuccessful plaintiff might bring actions of replevin in infinitum, in reference to the same matter. 3 Bl. Comm. 150.
