de odio et atia - Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :

  DE ODIO ET ATIA. These words signify "from hatred and ill will." When a 
  person was committed on a charge of a crime, from such a motive, he could 
  sue the writ de otio et atia, and procure his liberty on giving bail. The 
  object is now obtained by a writ of habeas corpus. Vide Writ de odio et 
  atia.
