In trespass the parties are at issue ; at the trial some of the jurors appear, and some make default ; a distringas with decem tales is awarded : upon this distringas a full jury appears; at this day a protection cast for the defendant shall be allowed ; for he is then demandable, and the end of a protection is to excuse his defaut. A protection does not lie, after a juror is worn.
