Ex Parte Logan
Ex Parte Logan
Opinion of the Court
This case presents error from the district court of Cleveland county. Plaintiff in error, Robert Logan, being held in the county jail of Cleveland county for the purpose of extradition for an offense alleged to have been committed in the state of Tennessee, by and through Ben F. Williams, Jr., Esq., broughthabeas corpus in the district court of said county to secure his release. The court denied the application, and remanded him to the custody of the sheriff and jailer of the said county, where it appears he has since been held. Time was taken to prepare, make, and serve a case-made for this court, and the same has been duly lodged herein.
Counsel for defendants in error have filed a motion to dismiss the same, for the reason that the order made by the court is not of that final and conclusive character necessary to support a proceeding in error, and that no right of appeal to this court exists. The question presented and argued has recently been passed upon by the Criminal Court of Appeals in the case of Ex parte Johnson,
The motion is accordingly sustained, and the proceeding in error dismissed.
TURNER, C. J., and HAYES and KANE, JJ., concur; WILLIAMS, J., dissenting. *Page 661
