The foregoing forms are predicated on the statute of January 12th, 1828. Rev. L. 283. But it is presumed that, by the statute of January 24th, 1831, Rev. L. 138, a judge is authorized, in vacation, to issue a writ of habeas corpus, under his own hand and private seal, should the emergency require it.

A habeas corpus is served by delivering the writ to the sheriff, or other person, to whom it is directed, and reserving a copy.

Injunction.

Injunctions are granted before answer, to restrain

proceedings in suits at law, or in cases of waste, or other injuries of a nature so urgent that mischief would ensue if the complainant were to wait till the answer is put in. In such cases, the court will not leave the party to sustain the injury, and afterward seek redress; but will interpose its authority to restrain such proceedings as are contrary to equity and good conscience.

The party applying for an injunction must file his bill supported by oath or affirmation, and give bond as required by the statute, and where the application is to stay proceedings on a judgment at law, he must endorse on the bill a release of errors, under his hand and seal. Rev. L. 195, 6.

•Affidavit in support of the bill.

A. B. the complainant in this cause, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that all the material facts stated and set forth in the foregoing bill of complaints, so far as they are stated from his own knowledge, are true, and so far as they are stated from the information of others, he believes them to be true.
