I don't think writs of outlawry ever existed in American law. The Wikipedia article on it lists a bunch of English examples, but even then, they're all fairly old - like the later examples are in the 1800s. Native species laws would not interact with writs of outlawry. Capturing outlaws and putting them in a safari would be construed as aiding and abetting, which might get you thrown in jail or outlawed yourself. I suspect if you tried to convince an English court to actually apply a writ of outlawry to someone, they'd write a scathing and condemning response to your request to have someone Purge'd by the small claims court. If you're absolutely itching to see what happens when someone tries to invoke an ancient and unrecognized function of the legal system, then perhaps you might want to watch this video, in which a lawyer reads and explains a legal filing in Iowa that petitions for trial by combat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMT9pyilkwA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMT9pyilkwA
