Decided November 16, 1954.
Habeas corpus proceeding by Willie Williams against the Warden of the Maryland Penitentiary. From a refusal of the writ, petitioner applied for leave to appeal.
Application denied.
Before BRUNE, C.J., and DELAPLAINE, COLLINS, HENDERSON and HAMMOND, JJ.
This application for leave to appeal from a refusal to issue a writ of habeas corpus must be denied. Relief was sought from a Judge of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City on the ground that the refusal of the Circuit Court of Wicomico County to grant bail was arbitrary and capricious, pending an appeal to this Court from its judgment imposing consecutive sentences on two counts of an indictment. The application for leave to appeal has become moot, since in Williams v. State, 205 Md. 470, we affirmed the judgment and sentence of the Circuit Court for Wicomico County.
Application denied, with costs.
