State Ex Rel. Taylor v. Dowd, Warden
Indiana Supreme Court · Decided March 13, 1944 · PER CURIAM.
53 N.E.2d 543; 222 Ind. 289; 1944 Ind. LEXIS 122 (North Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

State Ex Rel. Taylor v. Dowd, Warden

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

This is an original action seeking a writ of habeas corpus, and certiorari in aid thereof. There is ample jurisdiction in the nisi prius courts to issue the writ in a proper case, with a remedy by appeal if the writ is erroneously denied. This court has no original jurisdiction of habeas corpus. Jones v. Dowd, Warden (1941), 219 Ind. 114, 37 N. E. (2d) 68.

Petition dismissed.

Note.—Reported in 53 N. E. (2d) 543.
