(Bring with you, although sick.) In practice. An ancient writ, now obsolete, directed to the sheriff, upon a return that he could not bring his prisoner without danger of death, he being adeo languidus, (so sick;) where-upon the court granted a habeas corpus in the nature of a duces tecum licet languidus. Cowell; Blonnt
