New York Supreme Court December 26, 1895 (People ex rel. Forbes v. Markell)

MERWIN, J.

In the petition of the relator for a writ of habeas corpus, it is alleged that he is held on a commitment issued by the police justice of the city of Syracuse, and that such commitment is illegal and void. There is no specification of any defect, except that it is dated March 15, 1885.
