Stet Billa LAW AND LEGAL
Definition:

If the plalntlff ln a plaint in the mayor’s court of London has attached property belonging to the defendant and ob-tained execution against the garnishee, the defendant, if he wishes to contest the plain-tiff’s claim, and obtain restoration of his property, must issue a scire facias ad dis-prob an dum debitum; lf the only question to be tried is the plaintiff's debt, the plaintiff in appearing to the scire facias prays stet billa “that his bill original," i. e., his orig-inal plaint, “may stand, and that the defend-ant may plead thereto.” The actlon then pro-ceeds ln the usual way as if the proceedings ln attachment (which are founded on a fictitious default of the defendant in appearing to the plaint) had not taken place. Brand, F. Attachm. 115; Sweet

Few words of positivity

It is the rub that polishes the jewel,” Enso Roshi says. “Nobody ever gets to nirvana without going through samsara. Nobody ever gets to heaven, without going through hell. The center of all things, the truth, is surrounded by demons.
