Majority

p. 935
The People of the State of New York ex rel. Jane L. Brunner, Appellant, v. Lewis M. Swasey, Sheriff of Kings County, and Joseph Gallagher, Respondents.

The commitment was not void for defects in form. The court which adjudged the relator in contempt had full jurisdiction. If it made an error in its determination, the remedy was by appeal. The writ of habeas corpus is not one of review. Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements. Jenks, P. J., Burr, Carr, Stapleton and Rich, JJ., concurred.
