CARMACK v. STATE

Court of Appeals of Alabama.
Jun 5, 1962

CATES, Judge.

This is a habeas corpus appeal. See also Ex parte Carmack, ante, p. 426, 133 So.2d 891.

Carmack alleged numerous grounds. However, he made no proof.

The return of the prison warden shows a proper indictment, verdict, judgment and sentence from the Jefferson Circuit Court.

Code 1940, T. 15, § 27, reads in part:

"No court, or judge, on the return of a writ of habeas corpus, has authority to inquire into the regularity or justice of any order, judgment, decree, or process of any court legally constituted, * * *"

The circuit court has jurisdiction of trials of indictments for carnal knowledge of girls thirteen to sixteen years of age (T. 14, § 399). Hence, without proof to show the commitment was void, the judgment of the Montgomery Circuit Court was completely correct and must be here

Affirmed.
