   Curia.

We require the return and affidavit, or copies, to be produced on the argument; to the end that we may determine, by comparing them, how far the amendments sought for by the motion are necessary. But we have not required that they should be served.

The return and a copy of the affidavit being produced, the court received them; and considered the motion on its merits.
