Syllabus

<p>Criminal Law <&wkey;258(2)—Habeas Corpus <&wkey;29—Judgment—Time op Rendering.</p> <p>The petitioner was convicted of libel in the justice court, and sentenced within less than six hours after the verdict, without his consent. He brought habeas corpus to secure release upon that ground, contending the judgment was null and void under section 2287, Comp. Laws Alaska 1913. Held, petition denied, because the provisions of section 2287, Comp. Laws Alaska 1913, apply only to the rendition of judgments in the district courts, and not to those in the justice courts, which latter are governed in that respect by section 2535 of said Laws.</p> <p><@ss>See same topic & KEY-NUMBER in all Key-Numbered Digests & Indexes</p>
