Juridical Dissertation on Contumacy

XIV.

And this citation by Civil Law is regularly wont to be made only after the third dilatory [citation], and thus to induce true Contumacy, beyond three Citations, a fourth peremptory one, or a peremptory edict, is desired: l. 68. § seqq. ff. de Judic. Barbosa ad h. l. n. 121. & 23. Caspar Klock. Tom. 3. Consil. 187. n. 136. B. Dn. Lauterb. l. c. The judge's discretion, however, is not entirely excluded: through l. 72. ff. de Judic. Vultej. de Judic. l. 2. c. 6. num. 7. Zasius ad l. 53. ff. de Re Judic. n. 22. Whence sometimes after one or another, or from the beginning, one is also proposed for three: Vid. l. 2. C. Quom. & Quand. Jud. See also Zasius, d. l. Provided it has no fewer days than the three dilatory ones would have had. d. l. 72. ff. de Jud. l. 53. §. 1. ff. de Re Judic. l. 8. C. Quom. & quand. Jud. B. Dn. Lauterb. ad jus Provinc. Würt. p. 1. tit. 11. §. 16. Brunnem. de process. civ. c. 3. num. 29. & num. 30. Which by ancient Civil Law in triple citations had an interval of ten days for each turn: through l. 69. ff. de Judic. By the most recent law, however, [it is] thirty days. through Nov. 115. c. 3. & Auth. Qui semel C. quom. & quand. Jud. R. I. de Anno 1654. §. Dann wird. Perez. in Cod. tit. Quom. & quand. Jud. num. 3. Today, however, by the usage of the court, the third dilatory [citation] has the force of a peremptory one. Vultej. de Judic. l. 2. c. 2. num. 175. J. P. W. p. 1. tit. 12. and there B. D. Lauterb. In Statutory Law, however, of my homeland, Bremen, it is cautioned that for one to be held as a true Contumacious person, it is testified that he was cited peremptorily for the fourth time. Casp. Klock. tom. 3. Cons. 158. n. 137.

Removed from our Object is then: (1.) A dilatory citation, or simple one, by which one is simply called to the Judge, but a further citation is decreed, with the cognizance meanwhile suspended, which does not make the Defendant contumacious. through l. 53. ff. de Re Judic. l. 9. C. Quom. & Quand. Jud. Wesemb. ad l. 13. C. de Judic. Nov. 112. c. 3. princ. Rosbach. in process. tit. 35. n. 15. p. 193. Whose formula is almost this: That N. appear on the 10th of March and answer to the Plaintiff concerning his filed complaint. (2.) A monitorial citation, e.g., to see witnesses swear. lc. 4. X. de testib. Klock. Vol. 2. Consil. 86. num. 201. Or (3.) That citation, quickly...
