    Delivered June 9, 1926.
    Habeas Corpus — Judgment — Cannot Be Attacked Collaterally.
    Relator presents to this court an original application for a writ of habeas corpus, attacking the validity of a judgment in the District Court of Madison County. This is an attempt to collaterally attack the judgment which, we think, is not void but subject to correction by direct proceedings in the trial court, and the writ is denied.

This is an attempt to collaterally attack the judgment which we think is not void but subject to correction by direct proceeding in the trial court.

The writ is denied.
