This action is brought to recover upon several promissory notes, set forth in the complaint. An order for the arrest of the defendant was obtained in the action on the ground that the defendant had, subsequently to the making of the notes, disposed of his property with intent to defraud his creditors. The motion to discharge was on the ground that no allegation of such fraud was set forth in the complaint. But the alleged fraud was an extrinsic fact which arose subsequently to the cause of action. It was not necessary, under the Code, that it should be set forth in the complaint. By subdivision 4, section 549, it is provided that in an action upon contract, express or implied, where it is alleged in the complaint that the defendant was guilty of fraud in contracting or incurring the liability, the plaintiff cannot recover unless he proves the fraud upon the trial. But that provision has no application to the case before us. The right to arrest in a ease of this kind is governed by subdivision 2 of section 550 of the Code of Civil Procedure, whiclj enacts that a party may be arrested in an action upon con tract, where, since the making of the contract or in contemplation *640of making the same, he has removed or disposed of his property with intent to defraud his creditors. There is no provision which requires such allegations to be set forth in the complaint. They are to be established to the satisfaction of the judge who grants the warrant of arrest, and are not involved in the issues made by the pleadings.
We think the learned judge was mistaken in the conclusion at which he has arrived, and that the order must be reversed and the motion denied, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
