Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
SUPERSEDEAS
In law. Is a writ which lieth in divers and sundry cases; in all which it signifies a command or request to stay or forbear the doing of that which in appearance of law were to be done, were it not for the cause whereupon the writ is granted: for example, a man regularly is to have surety of peace against him of whom he will swear that he is afraid; and the justice required hereunto cannot deny him: yet if the party be formerly bound to the peace, in chancery or elsewhere, this writ lieth to stay the justice from doing that, which otherwise he might not deny. John Cowell
The far distance of this county from the court, hath heretofore afforded it a supersedeas from takers and purveyours. Richard Carew, Survey of Cornwall.
