Supreme Court of Pennsylvania April 5, 1817 (Allison v. Rheam)

Tilghman C. J.

This is an action of trespass and false imprisonment. The plaintiff proves, that the defendant who had obtained judgment against him in another action in this Court, sued out a writ of capias ad satisfaciendum, and had him arrested, although he had sufficient real estate, to satisfy the judgment. The writ was quashed, on application to the Court.
