[210] 267. welby versus canning. Mich. 15 Jac. Rot. 2617. Scire fac. Bail. The rendring of the body must be of record, and how it must be done. Mo. 888. 1 Roll. 337. 2 Ro. 576. Ant. 116.

And in this case divers precedents were shewed for the mariner of the entry, upon the yielding of the body upon the bail, soil. P. 12 H. 8. Rot. 324. & P. 29 Elik & Tr. 20Eliz. Rofc. 125. between Young and Tomson in exonerationem manucaptorum fe postea, because he was not prayed in execution by the party, he was discharged. Et P. 6 Jac. Rot. 105. such a yielding of the body was entred in exonerationem manucaptorum. So the true form is, that the entry be made of record of the yielding in discharge of the bail.
