Opinion
Crim. No. 740.
September 22, 1920.
APPLICATION for a Writ of Habeas Corpus to secure release from Juvenile Court. Granted.
The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
C. J. Novotny for Petitioner.
H. S. Utley and J. D. Malcolm for Respondent.
[1] It appears from the petition for the writ, as well as from the return thereto, that the minor, Esther Galvan Azhocar, is illegally restrained of her liberty. The petition filed in the juvenile court, upon which the order adjudging the minor to be a ward of that court was based, was insufficient to confer jurisdiction. It is ordered, therefore, that the minor be discharged.
