DUCES TECUM LICET LANGUIDUS

(Bring with you, although sick.) In practice. An ancient writ now obsolete, directed to the sheriff, upon a return that he could not bring his prisoner without danger of death, he being adeo languid us, (so sick;) whereupon the court granted a habeas corpus in the nature of a duces tecum licet languidus. Cowell; Blount
