New York Supreme Court May 15, 1894 (People ex rel. Taylor v. Seaman)

Smith, J.

Upon the 24th day of March, inst, I granted two writs, one of habeas corpus, the other of certiorari, to inquire into the cause of the detention of the relator by the defendant. The writs were returnable before me at Watkins upon the twenty-sixth day of March. Upon the said day the parties appeared, and were heard through counsel in reference thereto.
