Appeal from the Circuit Court, Montgomery County, Eugene W. Carter, J.

MacDonald Gallion, Atty. Gen., Bernard F. Sykes, Asst. Atty. Gen., and John F. Ingram, Legal Research Aide, Montgomery, for the State.


Code 1940, T. 15, § 27, reads in part as follows:

"No court, or judge, on the return of a writ of habeas corpus, has authority to inquire into the regularity or justice of any order, judgment, decree, or process of any court legally constituted, * * *."
