D. & C. 2d 357, with a correction that the word "legality" be changed to "regularity," so that the sentence shall read: "A petition for writ of habeas corpus cannot be used to attack the sufficiency or regularity of proceedings prior to the grand jury's true bill (Com. ex rel. Scasserra v. Maroney, 179 Pa. Superior Ct. 150, 154, 115 A. 2d 912).[3]"
