¶1By the Court,
¶2The name of the clerk, where the court sits at the time of the teste of process, is *485enough; it is not necessary that the names of all the clerks of the court should be signed to process. The motion to set aside the capias is therefore denied. The motion to mitigate bail is chamber business, and that also is denied.
