Appearances may be put in for Defendants having Privilege of Parliament in Courts of Equity, on Return of Process of Sequestration.
|
IX. ‘And whereas in many Cases Persons having Privilege of Parliament are named as Defendants in Suits instituted in Courts of Equity against them, either alone or jointly with other Persons, for enforcing against them Demands and Duties cognizable in Courts of Equity, and in some Cases such Defendants having Privileges of Parliament have stood out to the Return of Process of Sequestration issued against them for enforcing Appearance, and such Process of Sequestration hath not been found sufficient to enforce such Appearance;’ be it therefore enacted, That from and after the passing of this Act, in case any Defendant having Privilege of Parliament shall, upon a Return of Process of Sequestration issued against him for not putting in an Appearance to any original or other Bill of Complaint instituted against him in a Court of Equity for enforcing Discovery and Relief, or Discovery alone, (as the Case may be,) neglect to appear, that then and in such Case such Court, upon producing the Return of such Sequestration in Court, may, on the Motion or other Application of the Plaintiff in such Cause, appoint a Clerk in Court to enter an Appearance for such Defendant so having Privilege of Parliament, and such Proceedings may be thereupon had in the Cause as if the Party had actually appeared.
