13 Conn. Supp. 240 | Conn. Super. Ct. | 1945
On a hearing held after the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus, the plaintiff was ordered to be discharged from the state prison. The defendant has appealed and the plaintiff has now moved that he be admitted to bail. The proceeding of habeas corpus is civil in nature, although the detained party is confined by virtue of criminal process. Riddlevs. Dyche,
No argument need be advanced to support the position that a grave injustice will be done Redway if no error is found on appeal. Nor will harm to defendant or the State ensue if the cause is remanded, because the bail will be contingent upon Redway's surrendering himself to the state prison to complete any unexpired portion of the sentence for which he legally may be confined.
Accordingly, the plaintiff is admitted to bail, the amount being set at $1,000. When the bail piece is prepared it may be presented to me for approval.
