Ex parte Bailey
California Supreme Court Jan 24, 1884Published
Synopsis
Extradition.—Where, from the Return to a Writ of Habeas Corpus on behalf of a prisoner held under requisition proceedings, it appears that the proceedings are regular, and that the act of Congress concerning fugitives from justice has been substantially complied with, the prisoner will be remanded.
By the COURT. Without passing on the question whether this court has the power to go behind the return herein, we say that it clearly appears to us, from the papers produced, on which the governor of this state acted, that his action was regular, and that it substantially complied with the act of Congress concerning fugitives from justice. The petitioner is therefore remanded.
