Forrester v. State

Opinion of the Court

BRICKEN, P. J.

Appellant filed petition, for writ of habeas corpus, before I-Ion. William E. Fort, judge of the Tenth judicial circuit, in which it is insisted that he is being illegally restrained of his liberty by virtue of void proceedings against him in the circuit court of Cleburne county, Ala.

The order of the judge below in denying the writ and in refusing to grant the prayer in the petition, and in remanding the petitioner to the custody of the penitentiary authorities, is correct in all things, and no error was committed in so doing. The petition, exhibits, and answer thereto affirmatively show that the petitioner is not entitled to the relief sought.

The judgment rendered herein is affirmed.

Affirmed.
