Ex parte MATTHEWS.
    (No. 5892.)
    (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    June 23, 1920.)
    Original application for writ of habeas corpus on behalf of Sam Matthews. Applicant ordered' discharged from custody.
    E. B. Martin, of Longview, for applicant.
    Alvin M. Owsley, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   DAVIDSON, P. J.

This is an original application for writ of habeas corpus in this court. He was charged with violating what is known, popularly speaking, as the “Tick Eradication Law” (Vernon’s Apn. Pen. Code Supp. 1918, art. 1284k).

It is deemed unnecessary, in view of the decision in the Ex parte Leslie Case, 223 S. W. 227, recently decided, to review the questions urged by the application, further than was done in the Leslie Case. On the authority of that case, applicant' is ordered discharged from custody.
