COMPTON, Chief Justice.
This is an original proceeding in habeas corpus. Petitioner was tried and convicted in San Juan County of the crime of statutory rape. Immediately thereafter, on an information filed pursuant to § 41-16-1, N.M.S.A., 1953 Comp., charging him with a previous conviction of a like felony in another state, a judgment of conviction of petitioner as a habitual criminal was entered and sentence imposed of not less than 491/4 nor more than 198 years in the state penitentiary. He is presently serving this sentence under an order of commitment which is directly attacked here.
