Ex parte Benito
Opinion of the Court
The hearing was held upon the aforesaid petition, wherein Attorney José E. Martinez Quintero prays for the enlargement of his client, José Benito, under the writ of habeas corpus, on the ground that the document which served as authority for his confinement in the jail of this city to serve the term imposed upon him by the municipal court of Utuado does not contain the requirements of a warrant of commitment, and on the ground of other illegalities committed in the judgment, and the violation of section'396 of the Penal Code and section 322 of the Code of Criminal Procedure now in force.
The prayer for enlargement made by José E. Martinez Quintero on behalf of José Benito is hereby denied, and the prisoner is ordered to be again conducted to the district jail of this city, where he is serving his term of imprisonment, in the custody of the warden of the said penal institution, with costs against the petitioner.
Denied.
