| N.Y. App. Div. | Oct 23, 1914
The relator, charged with a crime of the grade •of a misdemeanor, was held by a city magistrate, after an extended examination, for trial at the Special Sessions. Thereupon the district attorney filed an information in said Court of Special Sessions charging the relator with the crime for which he had been held. Before pleading to the information or making any motion in respect thereto the relator sued out a writ of habeas corpus claiming that the evidence before the magistrate was insufficient to justify his commitment.
There are two sufficient reasons why the writ was properly dismissed. In the first place it is too late, after an information has been filed, to review by habeas corpus the sufficiency of the evidence upon which a defendant was held by the com
But quite apart from the question above discussed the evidence taken before the committing magistrate, including the evidence of the relator himself, was more than ample to justify his being held upon the charge against him.
The order is, therefore, affirmed.
Ingraham, P. J., McLaughlin, Laughlin and Clarke, JJ., concurred.
Order affirmed.
