Appearance, inlaw, dignifies the defendant’s filing 
common or fpecial bail, when he is arrefted on any procefs 
cut of the courts at Weftminfter. Anciently, the fheriff, 
on execution of the writ, was obliged to take the defend¬ 
ant into cuftody, in order to produce him in court upon 
the return, however fmall and minute the caufe of aftion 
might be. For not having obeyed the original fummons, 
he had (hewn a contempt of the court, and was no longer 
to be trufted at large. But when the fummons fell into 
difufe, and the capias became, in fact, the fird procefs, 
it was thought hard to imprifon a man for a contempt 
which was only fuppofed ; and therefore in common cafes, 
by the gradual indulgence of the courts, (at length au- 
thorifed by the datutes 12 Geo. I. c. 9. and 5 Geo. II. 
c. 27.) the fherift'or his officer can now only perfonally 
ferve the defendant with the copy of the writ or procefs, 
and with notice in writing to appear by his attorney in court 
to defend this aftion ; which in effeft reduces it to a mere 
fummons. And, if the defendant thinks proper to appear 
upon this notice, his appearance is recorded, and he puts 
in fureties for his future attendance and obedience; which 
fureties are called common bail, being two imaginary per- 
fons, ufualiy named John Doe and Richard Roe ; or, if the 
defendant doth not appear upon the return of the writ, or 
within four (or in fome cafes eight) days after, the plain¬ 
tiff may enter an appearance for him, as if he had really 
appeared; and may file common bail in the defendant’s 
name, and proceed thereupon as if the defendant had done 
it himfelf. But, if the plaintiff will make affidavit that 
the caufe of aftion amounts to 10I. or upwards, then the 
defendant upon the arreft mud either go to prifon, or put 
in fpecial bail; which is done by entering into a bond to 
the fheriff, with one or more fureties, (not fictitious per- 
fons, as in the former cafe of common bail, but real, fub- 
ftantial, refponfible, men,) to infure the defendant’s ap¬ 
pearance at the return of the writ, which is called the 
A P P 8t ? 
bail bond ; and, on the return of the writ, or within four 
days after, the defendant mud appear according to the exi¬ 
gency of the writ. Which appearance is effefted by put¬ 
ting in bail to the ablion, and is commonly called putting in 
bail above. This bail above, or bail to the aftion, muff 
be put in either in open court, or before one of the judges 
thereof; or elfe, in the country, before a commiffioner ap¬ 
pointed for that purpofe by virtue of the flatute 4 Win.
