Supreme Court of Georgia April 13, 1911 (Carter v. Gabrels)

Beck, J.

Jim Carter instituted habeas-eorpus proceedings, alleging that he was illegally restrained of his liberty by J. N. Gabrels, sheriff and jailor of Habersham county, and that he was being confined in the common jail of that county under and by virtue of a pretended commitment, which was based upon a warrant which was void because of certain irregularities pointed out in the petition.
