THE WRIT
UNLAWFUL
Judge Gear Exceeds Ills
Powers In habeas
Corpus.

Judge Gear is found by unanimous
opinion of the Supreme Court, written
by Chief Justice Frear, to have COM
mitted error in granting a writ OF
habeas corpus for the release OF Go'o'
sentenced by another Circuit Judge to
pay fine of $3.50 and costs on his plea
of guilty to the charge of selling liquor
without a license. This decision is on
a writ of error sued out by Arthur M.
Brown, High Sheriff. e. C. Peters,
Deputy Attorney General, appeared for
plaintiff in error, and Cathcart & Mil
verton for defendant in error. The
syllabus of opinion reads as follows:
Circuit Courts have not jurisdiction
to issue writs of habeas corpus III
cases in which such writs are not
demandable of right. Such jurisdlc-
ton is confined by the statutes to the
Supreme Court, it's Justices and the
Circuit Judges. The jurisdiction to
issue such writs is not inherent in the
Circuit Courts in the sense that the
Legislature cannot vest it in other
courts or in the judges. to the exclu-
sion of the Circuit Courts as such, nor
does the Organic Act deprive the Leg
islature of such power"
Judge Gear released Goto from pris-
on, to which he was committed in de-
fo, Of In IA
pus for the reason that his punish
ment was infamous and therefore un-
lawful without his having been indict-
ed by a grand jury. On the writ of
error 1t was contended "Q) that the
Circuit Court was without jurisdiction
to issue writs of habeas corpus and
(2) that the offense was not infamous
and so could be tried on information
and complaint" The appellate court
says: mo opinion need be expressed
upon the second of these contentious
as we are of the opinion that the first
must be sustained"
Reviewing the laws on the subject
the court says: 80 far as the statutes
issue writ of habeas corpus in a case
in which it is not demandable or right
and probably not in any case"
A case of the writ being mot de-
| mandable of right" as explained to ar
Advertiser reporter, Is where the writ
is employed instead of the right of APP
peal by convicted person to escape
punishment If habeas corpus were
available for such purpose and with.
in the power of the lower courts t.

inal cases would take that route as
the shortest and one Judge would de.
