Meyer be placed in the absolute possession of all the premises described in that certain final decree heretofore rendered in a certain cause then pending and recorded in Chancery Order Book 32 on page 535 of Public Records of Brevard County, Florida, and dated July 23, 1931.

The Writ of Assistance referred to is sought to be issued pursuant to a final decree of foreclosure.

There was a motion to quash the alternative writ and on the 4th day of May, 1934, when the motion to. quash came on to be heard before this Court the Respondents filed a motion wherein they prayed to be allowed to file a return to the alternative writ in the event the motion to quash should be denied.
