—Upon being convicted of a misdemeanor in a Justice of the Peace Court, July 13, 1931, Jack McCloud on the same day took an appeal to the Circuit Court and gave an approved supersedeas bond under Sections 8471 (6157), 8472 (6158), et seq. C. G. L.

The defendant being detained by the Sheriff a writ of habeas corpus was issued by the Circuit Judge. The return to the writ presented a commitment issued by the Justice of the Peace, requiring the defendant to be kept in jail until the judgment of conviction is satisfied. The petitioner was remanded upon the erroneous theory the the provisions of Chapter 7841, Acts of 1919, Sections 4645, Comp. Gen.

Gen. Laws.
