Seventeen years later, Jackson .filed the present writ of habeas corpus, raising five question as follows:
1.That the clerk made a clerical error in stating that each sentence was to run consecutively “with” the other sentences.
2.That as to one of the burglary sentences the record showed that it was to run concurrently and yet the penitentiary record showed it to be consecutive.
