§ 2a:67-8.
A judge of the superior court may, when it shall appear by satisfactory proof that
anyone is held in illegal confinement or custody and there is good reason to believe
that he will be taken out of the state or suffer some irreparable injury before he
can be relieved by the issuance of a habeas corpus, issue a warrant under his hand
and seal reciting the facts and directed to any sheriff or other person, commanding him to take the prisoner and forthwith bring him before
the court to be dealt with according to law. If the proof shall also be sufficient to justify an arrest of the person having the
prisoner in his custody, as for a criminal offense committed in the taking or detaining
of the prisoner, the warrant may also contain an order for the arrest of such person
for such offense.
