The writ tax is applicable to an action whereby a husband and wife, having become reconciled subsequent to a judgment awarding alimony and child support, sued their minor children to release the husband's estate from the lien created by the prior judgment. The petition in question is a new cause, for which the writ tax is imposed, and not merely the satisfaction of a judgment.
