    In re BLANCHE McCADE.
    (Filed 29 March, 1922.)
    Habeas Corpus — Appeal and Error — Certiorari—Courts—Discretion.
    An appeal will not lie upon the refusal of the judge, in habeas corpus proceedings, to release a prisoner from custody upon the ground that the judgment ordering her imprisonment was .invalid, such procedure being only allowable when concerning the care and custody of children and otherwise by application for a writ of certiorari, the granting of which rests on the sound discretion of the court.
    Habeas cokpus proceedings, heard and determined on petition of Blanche McCade, before Bond, J., at Raleigh, N. C., on 30 November, 3921.
    The court entered judgment denying the prayer of the petitioner and remanding her to custody, whereupon petitioner excepted and appealed.

It appears that the petitioner, Blanche McCade, being imprisoned in the common jail of Wake County under a sentence in a •criminal action, sued out the writ of habeas corpus, alleging the invalidity of the judgment against her for causes specified. His Honor, on inspection, of the record, and other evidence offered, being of opinion that petitioner was under a lawful sentence, entered judgment in denial of the prayer of the petitioner and that she be remanded to jail.

It is the law of this State that except in cases concerning the care and custody of children, no appeal lies from a judgment in habeas corpus proceedings, but the same must be reviewed, if at all, on writ of cer-tiorari, duly applied for and resting in the sound discretion of the court. In re Lee Croom, 175 N. C., 455; citing Ice Co. v. R. R., 125 N. C., 17, and In re Holley, 154 N. C., 163.

In deference to these and other like decisions, we must hold that the appeal of the petitioner be dismissed.

Appeal dismissed.
