In old practice. Warranty of charter. A writ which lay for one who, being ehfeoffed of lands or tenements, with a clause of warranty, was afterwards impleaded in an assize or other action in which he could not vouch to warranty. In such case, it might be brought against the warrantor, to compel him to assist the tenant with a good pica or defense or else to render damages and the value of the land, if recovered against the tenant.

John Bouvier · 1839
An ancient and now obsolete writ which was issued when a man was enfeoffed of lands with warranty, and then he was sued or impleaded in assize or other action, in which he could not vouch or call to warranty. It was brought by the feoffer pending the first suit against him, and had this valuable incident, that when the warrantor was vouched, and judgment passed against the tenant, the latter obtained judgment simultaneously against the warrantor, to recover other lands of equal value.
