At which day came into the said Court of Exchequer Chamber the said A. B. in his proper person; but the said C. D., although solemnly called, came not, but made default; nor did he further prosecute the said writ of error against the said A. B. Therefore it was considered by the said Court of Exchequer Chamber that the said C. D. should take nothing by his said writ of error, but that he should be in mercy &c.; and that the said A. B. should go thereof without day &c.; and it was further considered that the said A. B. should recover against the said C.

B. according to the form of the statute in such case made and provided, for his damages, costs, and charges which he had sustained and expended on occasion of the delay of execution of the judgment aforesaid,

(a) An application to the Court of Exchequer Chamber for interest appears to be unnecessary since 1 & 2 Vict. c. 110, s. 17, except in cases of judgments entered before 1st October,

1838, in which case, under 1 & 2 Vict., interest can be levied from that day only. If interest be allowed by the court of error, the above clause as to interest should be omitted.
