Headnote

Habeas Corpus.—A Prisoner not Brought to Trial Within Sixty Days after commitment will be discharged on habeas eorpus.[1]
Application of John M. Vinton for discharge on habeas corpus.
Granted.
Henley, Bigelow & Costello for petitioner.

Petitioner discharged.

I dissent. The prisoner is discharged by the court upon the ground that he has not been brought to trial within sixty days after his commitment. I am well satisfied that the writ of habeas corpus cannot be invoked in a case of this character.

I concur: Temple, J.
