English translation:summons or sub poena
Explanation:
Taking Colin McKinney's explanation further, it seems to me that a simple translation would be a summons or subpoena (a summons to answer a charge, or sub poena to appear as a witness). Decide which based on the context.

Each of these incidents led to letters being issued by court bailiffs


Explanation:
In France, when you are notified that you must attend court, for example, you receive a letter from a bailiff's office. You need to take this to the court to find out what it is about. Attendance is obligatory. You would also receive such letters if you were being taken to court or to receive notice of the judgement in a trial or hearing in which you are involved but may have chosen not to attend.
