Mr.. Noble associated with Mr..

IN the case of Campbell vs.. Bull, in
volving title to and ownership of
some 5000 acres of land in Burleigh
county, which is in question between
Hugh Campbell, Jr., and j. w. Bull.
The action had its origin back in the
eighties, when mortgage on the
land given by Stuart and Brother of
Philadelphia was forsclosed. By this
mortgage, in the..sum of $4,000, one

bell, and after giving the mortgage
conveyed. the land 10 one J. W. Coul-
ston. In ignorance of this .latter
transfer, the plaintiff alleges, the
mortgage was foreclosed and sdbse-
quentiy action vas brought against
Coultson as party. y. E. Garland,
now United States Judge in South
Dakota, was attorney for the plain
tifl,
.Assheriff's deed was in due, course
issued to Campbell, and he held pos
session Of the land until 1905, when
Coulston gave a quitclaim deed Of
the land to J. ". Bull. Bull then
brought an action to cause Campbell
to. show why the original decree of
foreclosure should not be set aside as
void on the ground that the court
had no jurisdiction and the district
court set aside the original decree Of
foreclosure. The case was then ap-
pealed 10 the supreme court by the
plaintiff, Campbell. s's. 4
A nun Der of interesting legal
points arise N the case, among them
whether the original decree was void,
whether the district coult of this dis
rict is the successor of the territorial
court and has..authority to entertain
! motion to set aside the original
i Judgment, and whether the title Of
the property can be disturbed after
% years from the date Of the original
! entry of judgment.
The land In question is valuable,
and the amount involved in the case
lis from sl5,0 to $4,000. B. N.
Stevens represented the defendant.

That some of the members Of the
committee We're impressed by the
character of the charges which Mrs

OPINION.
BY Judge Edward A. Mann.

The first question raised by coun-
sci in their briefs, is one Of jurisdic-
ton, the Territory contending that
this proceeding is merely an attempt
to question the sufficiency of the
complaint by habeas corpus proceed
ings, thus falling within the rule laid
down by the Supreme Court of New
Mexico, 'In re, Peraltareavis," N.
NJ, q, and that case, with authori.
ties there cited and others from the
Supreme Court of the United States,
certainly lays down the rule that a
writ OF habeas corpus cannot be made
to take the place of demurrer to
the indictment, or a writ Of error
from a court of competent jurisdic.
ton for the mere correction of errors,
but | do not understand the authori.
ties to go so far as to include a
complaint before an examining mag
istrate having power only to bind the
accused over to await the action of
the grand jury, in any case cited.
except the Peraltareavis case. In
the Siebold case lex parte Siebold,
100 U. s. 371), upon which the holding
in the Peraltareavis case was based,
Justice Miller lays down the rule
as follows: ''If the statute has in.
vested the court which tried the pris-
oner with jurisdiction to punish a
we'll defined class Of offenses, as for
gerry of its bonds. or perjury In its
courts, It's judgment as to what acts
were necessary to constitute the
crime is not renewable on a writ Of
habeas corpus"
Our statutes on the subject of ha-
beas corpus declare that every per-
son imprisoned or otherwise restrain
ed Of his liberty, except In the cases
in the following section specified, may
prosecute writ of habeas corpus, ac-
cording to the provisions of this
chapter, to obtain relief from such
imprisonment or restraint If it proves
to be unlawful"
(Chapter V, G. l.. l.. 1897 and the
following section lays down the ex-
ceptions as follows:
