This is an application for leave to appeal from refusal of a writ of habeas corpus. Jackson v. Warden of Maryland House ofCorrection, 190 Md. 717, 60 A.2d 179, just decided.

Even if he was illegally arrested and held, he did not thereby obtain absolution from punishment when lawfully indicted, tried and convicted.
