An Ogden case recently before the supreme court involved this question, ques-tion, but the court ignored it and decided de-cided simply that in a habeas corpus proceeding there wns no appeal from an order releasing the prisoner.

Certainly, the question is interesting and may come before the courts for legal determination. |
