Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York ex rel. Ruth Farnum, Appellant, v. Superintendent of Matteawan State Hospital, Respondent.

Opinion:
In a habeas corpus proceeding, relator appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Dutchess County, dated November 1, 196.1 and entered November 16, 1961, which failed to sustain the writ " on the legal grounds requested " and set the matter down for a hearing " to determine whether the petitioner is presently competent to face trial." Appeal dismissed. An intermediate order in a habeas corpus proceeding is not appealable (Civ. Prac. Act, § 1274; People ex rel. Duryee v. Duryee, 188 N. Y. 440; People ex rel. Wysocki v.
