Habeas Corpus Act, 1781

No habeas corpus granted for county after assizes proclaimed,

but brought before judges of assize.

XI. And to the intent, no person may avoid his trial at the assizes or general gaol-delivery, by procuring his removal before the assizes, at such times as he cannot be brought back to receive his trial there; be it enacted by the authority aforesaid, that after the assizes proclaimed by that county where the prisoner is detained, no person shall be removed from the common gaol upon any habeas corpus granted in pursuance of this act, but upon any such habeas corpus shall be brought before the judge of assize in open court who is thereupon to do what to justice shall appertain.
