French v. Cummings

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
French v. Cummings, 125 Me. 522 (Me. 1926)

French v. Cummings

Opinion of the Court

This case is submitted upon exceptions to an order of the Justice of the Superior Court of Kennebec County discharging, upon a writ of habeas corpus, the petitioner, committed to jail upon an execution issued to enforce a decree of divorce, ordering the petitioner to make payments for the support of his minor child.

The exceptions are not properly before us. It is a well-settled principle that exceptions do not lie to the discharge of a prisoner upon habeas corpus. Knowlton, Petr. v. Baker, 72 Maine, 202. Stuart v. Smith, 101 Maine, 397. Exceptions dismissed.
