DEAN v. CALDWELL.

NICHOLS, Justice.

1. Where, as in this case, the evidence adduced at the habeas corpus hearing authorized a finding that the prisoner was fully advised as to his rights, was represented by competent counsel, and voluntarily and intelligently entered a plea of guilty, the judgment remanding the prisoner to custody was not error. Compare Mack v. Youmans, 228 Ga. 223 ( 184 S.E.2d 648); Laidler v. Smith, 227 Ga. 759 ( 182 S.E.2d 891); Purvis v. Connell, 227 Ga. 764 ( 182 S.E.2d 892).

2. The fact that a specially employed prosecuting attorney had previously represented the defendant in an unrelated matter is not a ground for a writ of habeas corpus.

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.

NICHOLS, Justice.

SUBMITTED MARCH 13, 1972 — DECIDED APRIL 6, 1972.
