Ex Parte Anderson
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
From Navarro' County. Original application for habeas corpus, for release from arrest by chief of police of city of Corsicana, appointed by a commission appointed by the Governor under special charter; the arrest being for violation of State Sunday law. The opinion states the case.
1Opinion of the Court
Applicant was convicted in the city court of the city of Corsicana for violating the State statute prohibiting sales on Sunday. Refusing to pay his fine he was arrested by the chief of police and resorted to the writ of habeas corpus to secure his discharge, assigning therefor various reasons.
He urges want of jurisdiction in the city court to try him, as was done, for alleged violation of a State law. This contention is well taken. Sibley's case, 65 S.W. Rep., 372, is exactly in point. See also Holmes v. State, 44 Tex. 631; Ex parte Coombs, 38 Tex.Crim. Rep.; Ex parte Knox, 39 S.W. Rep., 670;…
