CAPIAS - This word, the signification of which is 'that you take,' is applicable to many heads of practice. Several writs and processes commanding the sheriff to take the person of the defendant are known by the name of capias. For example: there are writs of capias ad respondendum, writs of capias ad computandum, writs of capias ad satisfaciendum, etc., each especially adapted to the purposes indicated by the words used for its designation.
As the words 'writs of mandamus' refer to a special type of court order, it is most sensible to look for a definition in a legal dictionary. Legal dictionaries can be found in the reference section of a library, bought from a good bookseller, or accessed online.
