habeas corpora

from Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
HABEAS CORPORA, English practice. A writ issued out of the C. P. commending 
the sheriff to compel the appearance of a jury in the cause between the 
parties. It answers the same purpose in that court as the Distringas 
juratores answers in the K. B. For a form, see Bootes Suit at Law, 151.
