The Practice Of The Courts Of King's Bench And Common Pleas In Personal Actions: To Which Are Added The Law And Practice Of Extents, And The Rules Of Court, And Modern Decisions In The Exchequer Of Pleas by William Tidd. This historical English legal treatise is a comprehensive reference work on procedural law in England, organized as an alphabetized manual for civil and criminal procedure before modern codifications. The volume surveys the courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer of Pleas, detailing pleadings, trials, venue, judges, officers, costs, and enforcement. Part 4 assembles topics such as money in court, pleas and pleading, new trials, process, judgments, trials, venue, officers, prisoners, outlawry, rules, and staying proceedings, with cross-references to statutes and authorities. It functions as an operational manual for practitioners and magistrates, illustrating forms, writs, and practice through historical examples and statutory citations.
