Head Matter:
In the matter of the application of August Gottsmann and Mary Greb on behalf of Joseph Gottsmann, Sr., for writ of habeas corpus.
[Submitted October 21st, 1947.
Decided January 29th, 1948.]
Mr. Charles Blume, for the appellants.
Messrs. Feld ■& Freitner (Mr. Samuel B. Feld, of counsel), for the respondents Joseph Gottsmann, Jr., and Elsa Gottsmann.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
This appeal is from an order of the Chancellor, upon the advice of Vice-Chancellor Stein, discharging an order to show cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not issue and denying an application therefor.
Our examination of the record leads to the conclusion that reasonable cause was not shown. The'writ of habeas corpus is a writ of right when reasonable cause is shown, but not a writ of course. £9 C. J. S., Habeas Corpus, § -6.
The order under review is affirmed, with costs.
For affirmance — The Chief-Justice, Bodine, Donges, Heher, Colie, Wacheneeld, Eastwood, Burling, Wells, Dill, Rreund, McLean, Schettino, JJ. 13.
For reversal — None.
