Show J." W. Harker Must "Put Up." . The case of Joseph Clark against John W. Harker, his wife and two sons, has given rise to the question whether or not the writ of ne exeat exists ex-ists in this state. Some yeare ago Clark recovered judgment in a court in this city for $25,000. Harker shortly afterwards left Che state leaving leav-ing the judgment unsatisfied. Ho has made money in the meantime, but it is all held in the name of his wife and sons. Recently he and his family came here on a visit. Clark applied for and obtained a writ of ne exeat, or, in other words, an order commanding com-manding the parties not to leave the state until a settlement had been made. Harker's attorney maintained that the writ in question cannot, under un-der the code, be issued in California. Yesterday Judge Sharpstein delivered an elaborate decision on this point, holding that the writ does exist. S. F. Chronicle, 20th. |
