A writ issuing out of chancery, or a superior court, to call
up the records of a inferior court, or remove a cause there
depending, in order that the party may have more sure and
speedy justice, or that errors and irregularities may be
corrected. It is obtained upon complaint of a party that he

proceedings of a court in which cases are tried in a
manner different from the course of the common law, as

auxiliary process in order to obtain a full return to
some other process. --Bouvier.
