1. (More fully præmunire facias.) A writ by which the sheriff is charged to summon a person accused, originally, of prosecuting in a foreign court a suit cognizable by the law of England, and later, of asserting or maintaining papal jurisdiction in England, thus denying the ecclesiastical supremacy of the sovereign; also, the statute of 16th Richard II, on which this writ is based.
The words in the writ (1392–3) were (Natura Brevium, 1528, 150 b) ‘precipimus quod per bonos et legales homines de balliua tua premunire facias prefatum propositum [A.B.] quod tunc sit coram nobis’ (we command that through good and loyal men of thy jurisdiction thou do [or cause to] warn the aforesaid A.B. that he appear before us).
