FORMS OF THE EVIDENCE OF SERVICE OF NOTICES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS, AND OF AFFIDAVITS SHOWING THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE SURETIES TO UNDERTAKINGS AND BONDS.

During the progress of the proceedings in civil remedies it frequently becomes necessary for a party to an action, or to a proceeding, to obtain an order of the court, or of a judge thereof.

The application for such order is a motion, and in many cases written notice of the motion must be given; and when such written notice is required to be given, evidence of the service of such notice should be presented to the court or judge, unless the presentation of such evidence is waived by the adverse party. In many cases copies of papers are to be served with such notic, and when this is the case, the evidence which shows the service of the notice should also show that such copies have been served. If the service be on an attorney, such evidence may be by a written admission of such service, or by an affidavit showing that such service had been made. When the service is not on an attorney, the evidence of the service should be an affidavit.
