1Opinion of the CourtStone, J.
This was an application by habeas corpus, sued out by the father, to obtain possession of his infant male child, about twenty months old. The child is in the possession of his maternal grandmother, with whom he was left by his dying mother, then living apart from her husband. The judge of probate denied relief, and left the child with his grandmother. The present is an appellate application, to obtain a review and reversal of the probate judge’s ruling. The writ was sued out*before the probate judge, November 27th, 1883, and was heard by him a few days afterwards, on oral proofs.
