Syllabus

<p>1. HABEAS CORPUS — Reduction of Bail. This court will not grant reduction of bail on habeas corpus, unless it clearly appears that the amount fixed by the trial court is excessive.</p> <p>2. HABEAS CORPUS — Return—Judgment. Section 4867, Wilson’s Rev. & Ann. St. 1903, provides: “No court or judge shall inquire into the legality of any judgment or process, whereby the party is in custody, or discharge him when tne term of commitment has not expired, in either of the cases following: * * * (2) Upon any process issued on any final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.” And a judgment 'by a court of competent jurisdiction, valid on its face, is an unanswerable return to a writ of habeas corpus issued for the relief of a prisoner imprisoned by virtue of such judgment.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
