Abstract of a Bill for more effectually Securing the Liberty of the Subject.

States, that the writ of habeas corpus hath been found by experience to be the most beneficial mode of restoring any person to his liberty, who hath been unjustly deprived thereof; and that extending the remedy of such writ will be highly advantageous to the public; and that the provisions of the act of the 31st Car. II. intitled "An Act for the better securing the Liberty of the Subject," only extends to cases of imprisonment for criminal matter. Enacts, that the Lord Chancellor, and any of the Judges, may issue writs of habeas corpus in vacation, returnable immediately, where any person is restrained of his liberty, otherwise than for some criminal matter, and except persons imprisoned for debt; and that nonobedience to such writ shall be considered as a contempt of court, and that process of contempt may issue in vacation; that although the return to any writ of habeas corpus shall be good in law, the Lord Chancellor, Court, or any

of the Judges, before whom such writ is returnable, may examine into the truth of the facts set forth in such return; that process of contempt may be awarded in vacation against persons disobeying writs of habeas corpus, in cases within the stat. 31 Car. II.
