Superior Court of Detroit. — In Chancery.
    
    Cornelia M. Klein vs. Martin Klein.
    
      Divorce — Gusto Ay of Children — Habeas Corpus — Service of Writ — Order to Show Cause.
    
    The original writ of habeas corpus should he served — not a copy.
    In 1881 the complainant obtained a divorce from her husband on the ground of extreme cruelty. (47 Mich. 518.)
    The wife was decreed the custody of the children. The husband refusing to deliver them up, the wife attempted to gain possession by means of a writ of habeas corpus.
    
   The Court,

Ci-iipmam, J.:

Held that the service of the writ having been by copy, the service was void. The court intimated that an order that defendant show cause why he should not be punished for contempt, was the proper remedy.

(October, 1883.)
