PRAYER FOR RELIEF, chan. pleading. This is the name of that part of the
bill, which, as the phrase imports, prays for relief. This prayer is either
general or special but the general course is for the plaintiff to make a
special prayer for particular relief to which he thinks himself entitled,
and then to conclude with a prayer of general relief at the discretion of
the court. Story, Eq. Pl. Sec. 40; 4 Bouv. Inst. n. 4174-6.
