Syllabus

<p>Pleading — Misnomer oi* Court — Injunction — Contempt — Jurisdiction — Irregularity —■ Habeas Corpus. — No mere irregularity or omission in a complaint, not going to the jurisdiction of the court, can be inquired into on habeas corpus. A misnomer in entitling the name of the court upon the face of the complaint, while the cover of the complaint, the summons, and a writ of injunction disobeyed by the defendants contain the true name of the court, is a defect not affecting a substantial right of the defendant, and he cannot be relieved on habeas corpus from punishment for contempt in disobeying the injunction upon the ground of such misnomer.</p>
