In English law. A writ to recover damages against a bishop who does not admit a plaintiff's clerk. It is, however, rarely or never necessary; for It is said that a bishop, refusing to execute the writ ad admittendum clcricum, or making an insufficient return to it, may be fined. Wats. Cler. Law, 302.
