Habeas Corpus Denied.

The hearing on a writ of habeas cor
pus on the application of George Gines
and jacob Gines came before Judge
Merritt. The two applicants were con-
Victed in Justice w. r. Smiths court
at Woodland, Summit county on No
vember 20, of attempting to steal one
wagon wheel, the property of Jed
Woodland. They were fined 81 and
costs each amounting to S32.74 each,
and as the fine and costs We're not
paid they were ordered committed to
Jail there to remain one day for each
dollar of the fine. The grounds upon
which the writ was asked were that
the conviction was wrongful, for the
reason that the complaint was made
ON information and belief only, and
that the complaint did not charge
public offense. His honor, after listen
ing to the arguments, denied the writ.
