Interpleader
Interpleader, the process whereby a person, who is or expects to be sued by two or more parties, claim-ing adversely to each other, for a debt or goods in his hands, but in which he himself has no interest, obtains relief by procuring such parties to try their rights between or amongst themselves only. Where the applicant is a sheriff, and claim is made to goods seized in execution by any other than the person against whom the execution issued, the process is called a 'sheriff's interpleader.' At one time an independent suit in Equity, called a 'bill of interpleader,' had to be brought against the two rival claimants by the person having no interest, but the Interpleader Act (1 & 2 Wm. 4, c. 58), instituted a more simple and expeditious pro-cedure, whereby the Court in which such person was sued might call the rival claimants before it, and stay the action against such person; and this Act, with its amendments under the C.L.P. Act, 1860, was incorporated, but by reference only, into th...

Westminster the First, Statute of
Westminster the First, Statute of (3 Edw. 1, AD 1275). This statute, which deserves the name of a Code rather than an Act, is divided into fifty-one chapters. Without extending the exemption of churchmen from civil jurisdiction, it protects the property of the Church from the violence and spoliation of the king and the nobles, and provides for freedom of popular elections, because sheriffs, coroners, and conservators of the peace were still chosen by the freeholders in the county Court, and attempts had been made to influence the election of knights of the shire, from the time when they were instituted. It contains a declaration to enforce the enactment of Magna Charta against excessive fines, which might operate as perpetual imprisonment; enumerates and corrects the abuses of tenures, particularly as to marriage of wards; regulates the levying of tolls, which were imposed arbitrarily by the barons, and by cities and boroughs; corrects and retrains the power of the king's escheator and...
