In re Eaton
27 Mich. 1 | Mich. | 1873
The prisoner is in confinement in the house of correction, under sentence for larceny from the person. Petition was presented for a writ of habeas corpus, to test the sufficiency of the information on which she was convicted. The court held that this would be to make the writ of habeas corpus take the place of a writ of error, which was not an allowable use of the process, and consequently they denied the prayer of the petition.
