(bouvier)

more attorneys therein named, authorizing them generally to appear in any
court, or in some specified court, on behalf of the person giving it, and to
confess judgment in favor of some particular person therein named, in an
action of debt, and usually containing a stipulation not to bring any writ
of error, or file a bill in equity, so as to delay him.
2. This general authority is usually qualified by reciting a bond which
commonly accompanies it, together with the condition annexed to it, or by a
written defeasance stating the terms upon which it was given, and
restraining the creditor from making immediate use of it. 31. In form it is
generally by deed; but it seems, it need not necessarily be so. 5 Taunt.
264.
4. This instrument is given to the creditor as a security. Possessing
it, he may sign judgment and issue an execution, without its being necessary
to wait the termination. of an action. Vide 14 East, R. 576; 2 T. R. 100; 1

and, notwithstanding a revocation, judgment may be entered upon it. 2 Ld.
Raym. 766, 850; 1 Salk. 87; 7 Mod. 93; 2 Esp, Rep. 563. The death of the
debtor is, however, generally speaking, a revocation. Co. Litt. 62 b; 1
Vent. 310. Vide Hall's Pr. 14, n.
6. The virtue of a warrant of attorney is spent by the entry of one
judgment, and a second judgment entered on the same warrant is irregular. 1
