Syllabus

<p>HABEAS CORPUS — CUSTODY OF CHILD — DAMAGES—RECOVERY OF EXPENSE OF ACTION.</p> <p>The assumption of custody of a minor child, under order of the superior court in a habeas corpus proceeding, will not constitute false imprisonment, although the appellate court on a review of the habeas corpus proceedings may reverse the judgment of the superior court as erroneous.</p> <p>. A party who successfully brings an action for the custody of a child in habeas corpus proceedings, cannot subsequently bring another action to recover the expenses incident to the first case.</p>
