STET PROCESSUS, practice. An order made, upon proper cause shown, that the
process remain stationary. As where a defendant having become insolvent
would, by moving judgment in the case of nonsuit, compel a plaintiff to
proceed, the court will, on an affidavit, of the fact of insolvency, award a
stet processus. See 7 Taunt. Rep. 180, 1 Chit. Rep. 738; 10 Wentw. Pl. 43.
