WRIT OF RECAPTION
Legal Dictionary -> WRIT OF RECAPTIONSearch:
WRIT OF RECAPTIONWRIT OF RECAPTION, practice. This writ lies where, pending an action of
replevin, the same distrainor takes, for the same supposed cause, the cattle or goods of the same distrainee. See F. N. B. 169. 2. This writ is nearly obsolete, as trespass, which is found to be a preferable remedy, lies for the second taking; and, as the defendant cannot justify, the plaintiff must necessarily recover damages proportioned to the injury.
