20 S.E.2d 79; 193 Ga. 782; 1942 Ga. LEXIS 480 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

Muckle v. Aldredge

Opinion of the Court

Geioe, Justice.

1. The contentions of the plaintiff in habeas corpus, that he was entitled to his release, on the ground that he had been granted a pardon “conditioned upon his obeying all the laws of this State, of the United States and of any other State, and further that this conditioned pardon shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Governor,” were not sustainable, it appearing that the prisoner was held under a warrant issued by the judge after hearing evidence which justified the court in finding that the conditions under which the pardon was granted had been violated. Muckle v. Clarke, 191 Ga. 202 (12 S. E. 2d, 339); Huff v. Aldredge, 192 Ga. 12 (14 S. E. 2d, 456); Muckle v. Aldredge, 192 Ga. 426 (15 S. E. 2d, 605); Allman v. Aldredge, 192 Ga. 431 (15 S. E. 2d, 710); Moore v. Lawrence, 192 Ga. 441 (15 S. E. 2d, 519); Pippin v. Johnson, 192 Ga. 450 (15 S. E. 2d, 712) ; Pappas v. Aldredge, 192 Ga. 482 (15 S. E. 2d, 718) ; Derricott v. Aldredge, 192 Ga. 749 (16 S. E. 2d, 561).
