From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  PROCEDENDO, practice. A writ which issues where an action is removed from an 
  inferior to a superior jurisdiction by habeas corpus, certiorari or writ of 
  privilege, and it does not appear to such superior court that the suggestion 
  upon which the cause has been removed, is sufficiently proved; in which case 
  the superior court by this writ remits the cause to the court from whence it 
  came, commanding the inferior court to proceed to the final hearing and 
  determination of the same. See 1 Chit. R. 575; 2 Bl. R. 1060 1 Str. R. 527;
