27, 1967, modified, on the law and the facts, by adding to the first decretal paragraph, after the provision that the writ of habeas corpus “is dismissed ”, the words “ without prejudice to the commencement of another proceeding upon notice to relator’s committee.” As so modified, judgment affirmed, without costs.

Brennan, Acting P. J., Rabin, Hopkins, Benjamin and Munder, JJ., concur.
