1Opinion of the Court

DEVINE, J. pro tem. *

Petitioner seeks by writ of habeas corpus to have a judgment and commitment to state prison declared void on the ground that his plea of guilty was induced by a representation by his own counsel that he would receive probation and no more than a county jail sentence, and that this representation was corroborated by acts of the district attorney. It may be noted that petitioner was before this court in an attempt to accomplish the same results he seeks herein on an appeal from an order denying him a writ of coram nobis. (People v. Croft, 134 Cal.App.2d 800 [286 P.2d 479].)…
