§ 417. ANNOTATIONS.

Constitutionality of provisions.-Provisions of the statute providing for arrest in civil cases are not violative of the constitution: University of California v. Bernard, 57 Cal. 212; Dusy v. Helm, 59 Cal. 188, 191.

Right governed by law of place of action. The right to arrest a defendant in a civil action is a part of the remedy afforded the plaintiff, and the right exists according to the law of the place where the action is instituted, without any regard to the domicile of the parties, the origin of the right, or the country of the act: Ex parte Howitz, 2 Cal. App. 752, 753, 84 Pac. 229.

Issue of fraud essential.-No judgment of imprisonment can be rendered in proceedings for civil arrest, unless the issue of fraud is presented by the pleadings: Matoon v. Eder, 6 Cal. 57, 58, (upon bail bond given by the defendant who had been arrested on mesne process in an action for debt where no fraud was alleged in the complaint); Davis v. Robinson, 10 Cal. 411, 412, (for civil arrest on order issued where the affidavit alone charged fraud).

It has ever been held that the complaint must charge fraud before mesne process for arrest may be issued: Ex parte Howitz, 2 Cal. App. 752, 757, 84 Pac. 229, (proceeding for civil arrest-affidavit referring to and adopting averments in the complaint).

Complaint as aider of affidavit.-Where a copy of a complaint is annexed to the affidavit, and the affiant makes oath that the allegations contained therein are true,

this is held to be in sufficient compliance with the requirements of the law that it must appear from the affidavit that the cause exists: Ex parte Howitz, 2 Cal. App. 752, 756, 84 Pac. 229, (proceedings for civil arrest.)
