Bisland & Bruce, for relator. F. J. McCord, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
Relator was arrested, after an information being filed against him, charged with keeping a disorderly house by reason of selling spirituous, vinous, and malt liquors therein without license. Upon his arrest relator sued out a writ of habeas corpus before the county judge of said county, who remanded relator, whereupon relator applied to a member of this court for a writ of habeas corpus, which was granted and made returnable before the whole court, and now comes before us for decision.
The decisions of this court preclude the use of a writ of habeas corpus to test the validity of an indictment. This is the only question involved in this appeal. See Ex parte Beverly, 34 Tex. Cr. R. 644, 31 S. W. 645, and Ex parte Cox (Tex. Cr. App.) 109 S. W. 369.
Accordingly relator is remanded.
