PETITION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE WRIT OF PRELIMINARY

Plaintiff re-pleads all the foregoing allegations by way of

1. That the plaintiff is entitled to the relief demanded and
the whole or part of such relief consist in ordering the
defendant to deliver to the plaintiff possession of the
land subject of this case which is described under
paragraph 3 of the complaint.

already constructed a structure on the land and may
continue to make further construction thereon;
3. That the plaintiff is able and willing to put up an
injunction bond in the sum fixed by this Honorable

that the plaintiff will pay all damages which defendant
may suffer as a result of the injunction if the court
should finally decide that plaintiff is not entitled thereto.

PRAYER

to the plaintiff the land described under paragraph 3 of the complaint and
after due hearing making the injunction permanent and further after due
notice and hearing, judgment be rendered in favor of the plaintiff, as follows:

expense whatever structure he caused to be constructed
