Abstract Context
Commentary & Paraphrase
Hill JCP: I saw once in a writ of Formedon, that it was found for the demandant, and before judgment was rendered, it was alleged on the part of the tenant, that he had appeared by an attorney who had no warrant, and notwithstanding this, the demandant had judgment to recover.
A similar case was 1402.008 = Hil. 3 Hen. 4, pl. 8, fol. 10b (Trespass)
Thirning CJCP in a writ of Error with a similar argument in 1406.066 = Trin. 7 Hen. 4, pl. 5, fol. 16a
Thirning perhaps referred to affirmance in King's Bench of a judgment on an irregular warrant of attorney in 1406.105 = Mich. 8 Hen. 4, pl. 6, fol. 3a-6a and 1407.009 = Hil. 8 Hen. 4, pl. 9, fol. 21 and 1407.026 = Mich. 9 Hen. 4, pl. 5, fol. 24b (of 8 Hen. 4) - 1a

Statham Discontinuanz 14 added that it seemed that there was no other remedy in a personal plea, except a writ of deceit, and no more was there in a plea of land, etc.
