64 Cal. 343 | Cal. | 1883
The petitioner claims to be illegally restrained of his liberty by the sheriff of the city and county of San Francisco, and seeks to be discharged on habeas corpus.
The facts appear to be these: In 1882 one Rankin recovered a judgment in the Superior Court of the city and county of San Francisco against the petitioner and others for the sum of eighteen hundred dollars, or thereabouts, on which execution was issued and placed in the hands of the sheriff. The execution having been returned wholly unsatisfied, an order was duly made by the court pursuant to sections 714, et seq., of the Code of Civil Procedure, requiring the petitioner to appear before a referee named, at a time and place specified, to answer concerning his property. Pursuant to that order the petitioner appeared
Writ dismissed and petitioner remanded.
