Napier v. People

Appellate Court of Illinois

Decided January 4, 1882PublishedCited by 1 opinion

Appeal from the Superior Court of Cook county, the Hon. Gteobg-e Gr arbiter, Judge, presiding.

1Opinion of the CourtBailey, J.

In Hammond v. The People, 32 Ill. 446, it was held, that a writ of error would not lie to review an order of a circuit court upon a writ of habeas corpus, such order not being final, but only interlocutory in its nature. The same principle was again affirmed in ex parte, Thompson, 93 Ill. 89. Under these decisions we must hold that no appeal lies in this case.

Appeal dismissed.
