second deliverance
second deliverance 〈英〉二次交付令 司法令状的一种。在返还原物之诉〔replevin〕中，原告在起诉被驳回〔nonsuit〕之后，可以再次提起从而使被告陷入被纠缠的境地，针对这一情况，《威斯敏斯特法Ⅱ》〔Statute of Westminster Ⅱ〕创设了二次交付令。该法限制了原告的权利，却赋予原告这一令状，依此令，郡长可从被告处返还被扣之动产，但条件是原告要保证在被告的扣押行为被证明合法后，再次将相关动产返还给被告。

non(-)suit
non(-)suit n. 终结诉讼；驳回诉讼 指法庭由于原告未能提出合法的诉讼理由，或未能提出足以支持其诉讼主张的证据而在不裁决案件实体问题的情况下宣布诉讼终止。在英格兰，1875年之前这一做法只适用于普通法法院，其优点在于原告能通过支付全部诉讼费用而取得终结诉讼的判决之后，可凭同一诉讼理由对被告再次提起诉讼。严格而言，现在这一做法在高等法院已不存在，nonsuit一词现在仅在口头上泛指法官从陪审团处撤回案件并指示陪审团作出有利于被告的裁定。在美国的民事诉讼程序中，该词与「驳回诉讼」〔dismissal〕一词同义。驳回诉讼的判决〔judgment of nonsuit〕分「原告自愿的」〔voluntary〕和「非原告自愿的」〔involuntary〕二种。前者指原告自行撤诉并同意法院作出对其不利的判决和负担诉讼费用。后者表示由于原告经传唤而拒不出庭、或怠于进行诉讼程序、或无充分的诉讼理由、或不能举出陪审团作出裁断所需的证据等原因而由法庭主动或应被告请求驳回其诉讼，从而终止诉讼程序。
