Ex parte Pearson , 59 Ala. 654 ( 1877 )

Pee Cueiam.—

A majority of the court (Manning, J., dissenting) are of opinion, not without much hesitation and doubt, that the petitioner is entitled to discharge from further imprisonment. The judgment of the probate judge must be reversed and writs of habeas corpas and certiorari will accordingly issue, unless the judge of probate, on being properly informed of this opinion, shall make an order, relieving the petitioner from further imprisonment.
