Corrin v. Millington

The books of practice are to the point, that an affidavit continues in force for one year only, for the purpose of holding the defendant to bail. Peters, on Bail 189, (10 Law Lib. 105.) But if process be taken out immediately after the affidavit., is made, and the same is continued regularly, though for more than a year before the defendant’s arrest, the affidavit will be held sufficient to hold the defendant to bail.

Rule absolute.
