Syllabus

<p>1. Habeas Corpus — Matters Reviewable — Decision of Judge Granting Warrant for Removal of Prisoner to Another District.</p> <p>On the hearing of an application for a warrant for the removal to another district for trial of a person there charged with crime, the judge acts judicially; and, where the warrant recites that the requisite facts appear to his satisfaction from the evidence and record, there is an implication that he examined the testimony taken before the commissioner, and the judge of the district to which the prisoner is returned will not re-examine it on a writ of habeas corpus for the discharge of the prisoner on the ground that there is no legal and competent evidence to support the charge made against him.</p>
