California Supreme Court · Decided November 14, 1919 · THE COURT.
185 P. 178; 181 Cal. 509; 1919 Cal. LEXIS 384

In Re Lapique

Opinion of the Court

[1] Any question of insufficiency of evidence to warrant an indictment is not a proper subject of inquiry on habeas corpus (In re Kennedy, 144 Cal. 634, [103 Am. St. Rep. 117, 1 Ann. Cas. 840, 67 L. R. A. 406, 78 P. 34]).

In so far as appears, the sufficiency of the indictment in this matter cannot be examined into on habeas corpus (In reRuef, 150 Cal. 665, [89 P. 605]).

The application for a rehearing is denied.

Angellotti, C. J., Lawlor, J., Wilbur, J., and Olney, J., concurred.
