Taper 266. In English practice, under the Judicature Act of 1875, a special indorsement on a writ of summons is one which may be made in all cases where a definite sum of money Is claimed. When the writ is thus indorsed and the defendant does not appear within the time appointed, the plaintiff may then sign final judgment for any sum not exceeding that indorsed on the writ. See 3 Steph. Com., 530. See Indorsement.
