      § 131 CPO hatte als Vorläufer des heutigen § 140 ZPO von Anfang an seinen Platz in der früheren Reichs-Civilprozeß-Ordnung. Der Rechtsbehelf ist somit seit dem Jahre 1879 in weitgehend unveränderter Form vorhanden. Außerdem handelt es sich bei § 131 CPO um die Blaupause für die Vorgängerregelung des heutigen § 238 Abs. 2 StPO.
