.1250 THE KING V. BRIGGS ROMAN, 151. THE SAME TERM IN THE SAME COURT. Judgment against a defendant when beyond sea with an ambassador reversed. A judgment was obtained against one of the servants of the Lord Hay, Viscount Doncaster, when he was ambassador in Bohemia, and attending upon him there and this matter being disclosed to the Court by the council of the defendant, they would not suffer the plaintiff to have execution upon the said judgment, but ordered the plaintiff to declare de Iwo, to which the defondant should piesently answer. Memorand. It was said to be against the course of the Court, to have an imparlance before the declaration eared. THE SAME TERM IN THE SAME COURT. THE KING against BRIGGS.
