INDEX OF ACTIONS.

NOTE: It is difficult to classify the English forms of action according to any one principle, because the traditional classification has undergone many gradual changes, e.g. an action which one age called 'real', another called 'personal' or 'mixed'. In making this Index I have thought more of the convenience of modern readers than of the legal logic of Bracton's day. Proceedings are here arranged under twelve heads :(i) Writs of Right, (ii) Dower, (iii) Writs of Entry, (iv) Assizes of Novel Disseisin and of Nuisance, (v) Assizes of Mort D'Ancestor, Nuper Obiit, Cosinage, (vi) Assizes Utrum, (vii) Assizes of Darrein Presentment, Quare impedit etc., (viii) Miscellaneous Proceedings, most of which are reckoned in later days as real or mixed actions, but some of which are closely allied to trespass, (ix) Personal Actions, including actions on Fines and Warrantia Cartae, (x) Criminal Proceedings, (xi) Proceedings of an Appellate Character, including Attaint, Error, False Judgment, etc., (xii) Prohibition.
