Matter of Application of Robbins
California Court of Appeal
APPLICATION for a Writ of Habeas Corpus originally made in the District Court of Appeal for the Third Appellate District. The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
1Opinion of the CourtHart, J.
The petitioner was convicted in the justice’s court of Red Bluff Township, Tehama County, of violating section 626f of the Penal Code, a misdemeanor, and was thereupon sentenced to pay a fine of $150.00 or he imprisoned in the county jail of said county “until said fine is paid, not exceeding 150 days.” Having failed to pay the fine he was committed to the county jail.
He now insists that the judgment of sentence is null and void, that the commitment upon which the sheriff detains him is of necessity likewise affected and that consequently he is illegally restrained of his liberty.
