    Statement of the Case.
    Petition by Florence Ferguson Leonard, petitioner, to be discharged under the Insolvent Debtors’ Act against Iza D. Leonard, judgment creditor, respondent. From an order releasing the debtor, the creditor appeals.

      Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Execution, § 293
      
      —when judgment debtor may not be released from custody. The County Court has no authority to enter an order releasing a judgment debtor from the custody of the sheriff under a writ of capias ad satisfaciendum issued upon a judgment in tort where malice was the gist of the action.
    2. Execution, § 285*—when affidavit is not required for issuanee of a capias ad satisfaciendum. Under Hurd’s Rev. St. 1913, ch. 77, sec. 62 (J. & A. If 6809), an affidavit is not required for the issuance of a capias ad satisfaciendum upon a judgment in tort.
