Headnote

Proceeding by the People of the State of New York, on tke_ relation of Jane L. Brunner, against Lewis M. Swasey, Sheriff of Kings County, and another.

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 $10 costs and disbursements.
