Opinion by

Rhodes, P. J.,

This appeal by relator is from an order dismissing his petition for writ of habeas corpus.

The petition was filed on November 16, 1954,1 and, although it was captioned in the Court of Common Pleas of Schuylkill County, it was inadvertently marked filed in the court of quarter sessions. Answer was filed thereto by the District Attorney of Schuylkill County. We shall treat the appeal the same as if the proceeding had been properly docketed in the court of common pleas and disposed of therein, as it should have been. Act of May 25,1951, P. L. 415, §1, 12 PS §1901.
