RAPPORTS JUDICIAIRES REVISÉS DE LA PROVINCE DE QUÉBEC. CAPIAS.-PROCEDURE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Quebec, 6th December, 1873. Coram DUVAL J. en C., BADGLEY, J., MONK, J., TASCHEREAU, J. RAMSAY, J. THE MOISIC IRON COMPANY, appeilant, and OLSEN alias JACOBSEN, respondent. Held:-1. That the president of an incorporated company is competent to make the affidavit for a capias under Art. 798, C. P. 2. That the affidavit may be sworn before the Deputy Prothonotary. 3. That the following form of the Judge's Order required by Art. 801 C. P., is sufficient: "Seeing the foregoing affidavit, the amount of bail to be given under Article 801 of the Code of Civil Procedure is hereby fixed at." 4. That the writ of capias, as to its execution on a Sunday, is not governed by Art. 786 C. P. 5. That the affidavit is not bad because it states that the debtor is about to leave the Dominion of Canada," when it can be gathered from the other allegations of the affidavit that the departure is really from a point within the limits of the former Province of Canada. 6. That it is not necessary that it should be positively sworn that at the time of the making of the affidavit the debtor is actually within the limits of the former Province of Canada. 7. That damages claimed for the breach of a contract made in Norway, but to be executed in the Province of Quebec, do not constitute "a debt created out of the Province of Canada." (Art. 806 C. P.) This was an appeal from a judgment rendered by the Court of Review, at Quebec (MEREDITH, CH. J., and CASAULT, J., TESSIER, J., dissentiens), confirming a judgment rendered by the S. C., at Quebec, the 2nd July, 1873, (STUART, J.) which granted a motion to quash a capias ad respondendum issued by appellant against respondent. The questions raised in the different courts sufficiently appear in the remarks of the judges in each court. STUART, J. (In the S. C.) In this, and in sixteen other cases identically situated, motions are made by defendants to TOME XXIII. 1 |
