Summary

Portrait of Morrison Waite Morrison Waite Ex parte Royall — Opinion of the Court

In the present case no such writ is asked for, and, as the circuit court has not yet remanded the prisoner to the custody from which he was taken, he is in no condition to apply for one under the ruling in Yerger's Case. We know of no authority in the circuit court to take a bond from a prisoner brought before it, by its own writ of habeas corpus, to appear in this court to answer that writ.
