In re Underwood
Michigan Supreme Court
Decided January 5, 1875PublishedCited by 13 opinions
Application for Habeas Corpus. The petitioner was tried in the recorder’s court of Detroit for murder, and was acquitted by reason of insanity. The recorder, in pursuance of the statute {Comp. L., § 7957), committed him to the state prison until further order; and he is now confined by virtue of such commitment in the insane asylum attached to the state prison.
1Opinion of the Court
The Court
held that the question sought to be raised would necessarily involve a review of the order of the recorder’s court, by virtue of which the prisoner is confined, and that habeas corpus is not the proper remedy; and that the question must be raised by writ of error or other appropriate remedy.
Writ denied.
