Court of Appeals of Maryland
Decided February 7, 1957No. H. C. No. 51PublishedCited by 28 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtBrune, C. J.
The petitioner seeks leave to appeal from the denial of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus by Chief Judge George Henderson of the Circuit Court for Allegany County.
The petitioner is confined in the Springfield State Hospital and is so confined for reasons of insanity, not crime. Since he is not “detained for or confined as the result of a prosecution for a criminal offense”, he has no right of appeal. *637Code (1951), Article 42, Section 7; Miller v.
