JUDGMENT OF CAPIATUR. At common law, on conviction, in a civil action, of a forcible wrong, alleged to have been committed vi et armis, etc., the defendant was obliged to pay a fine to the king, for the breach of the peace implied in the act and a judgment of capiatur pro fine was rendered against him, under which he was liable to be arrested and imprisoned till the fine was paid. But the judgment of capiatur pro fine was abolished.
JUDGMENT OF MISERICORDIA. At common law, the party to, a suit who did not prevail was punished for his unjust vexation and therefore judgment was given against him, quod sit in misericordia pro falso clamore. Hence, when the plaintiff sued out a writ, the sheriff was obliged to take pledges of prosecution before he returned it, which when fines and amercements were considerable, were real and responsible persons and answerable for those amercements; but now they are never levied and the pledges are merely formal, namely, John Doe and Richard Roe.
