A writ of rebellion, also known as a commission of rebellion, was a legal document that allowed someone to arrest a person who did not obey a court order or decree. This document was used in the past and is no longer in use today. It was like a command to certain people to catch the person who did not follow the law. The commission of rebellion was abolished in 1841.

A more thorough explanation:

A writ of rebellion, also known as a commission of rebellion, was a legal process used in the past to enforce obedience to a writ of subpoena or decree. It allowed a layperson to arrest and bring a defendant to Chancery.

For example, if someone failed to appear in court after being ordered to do so, a commission of rebellion could be issued to apprehend them as a rebel and contemner of the king's laws.

This process was abolished in 1841, and is no longer used in modern legal systems.
