Per Curiam.

This cause came on for trial on August 4, 1981, on the Amended Petition for Writ ‍‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‍of Habeas Corpus, Memorandum in Support, Respondent’s Memorandum in Opposition, the evidence by way of Stipulations of Fact, oral arguments of counsel, and cause submitted.
