Supercedeas. |
| Preamble. |
Whereas, many of the justices of the peace
within this state

_________, by A. B. and C. D." as the case may be; and
doubts have been entertained whether the said supersedeas is
valid in law, and to remove all such doubts— |

in his docket, or on the warrant, in the following words: Superseded
by A. B. and C. D. or to that effect, shall be as valid
and bonding upon the parties superseding the said judgments,
and have the same legal operation and effect, as if the said supersedeas
had been written out at length, and signed by the
justice before whom the same was taken. |
