Melville Fuller,
Childers v. McClaughry — Opinion of the Court
“ Rep. 123, Lennon had been committed for contempt by the circuit court for the northern district of Ohio, and thereupon applied to the same court for a writ of habeas corpus, the petition alleging, as in this case, that he was restrained of his liberty in violation of the Constitution, and that the circuit court had no jurisdiction to commit him. ”
