Buchanan v. Mallalieu

Reese, Ch. J.

This is a proceeding in error to the district court of Gage county. A petition for a writ of habeas corpus was filed in that court, in which Elmer Buchanan, by John C. Dolan, on his behalf, alleged that the said Elmer Buchanan was unlawfully deprived of his liberty by J. T. Mallalieu, superintendent of the State Industrial School for Juvenile Offenders. A writ of habeas corpus was issued to the defendant, and he returned thereto that, on the 25th day of May, 1886, Elmer Buchanan was placed in his custody, by virtue of an order of commitment, which is set out in full in the return.
