In re Steele, 220 N.C. 685, 687, 18 S.E. 2d 132, 134, and cases cited; in re Renfrow, supra [247 N.C. 55, 59, 100 S.E. 2d 315, 317]. The remedy, if any, is by petition for writ of certiorari, addressed to the sound discretion of the appellate court. In re Lee Croom, 175 N.C. 455, 95 S.E. 903.\u2019 State v. Lewis, 274 N.C. 438, 441, 164 S.E. 2d 177. See also In re Palmer, 265 N.C. 485, 144 S.E. 2d 413; State v. Burnette, 173 N.C. 734, 739, 91 S.E. 364; In re Wilson, 3 N.C.

The same rule applies to hearings on return to writs of habeas corpus in extradition proceedings. In re Malicord, 211 N.C. 684, 191 S.E. 730; In re Guerin, 206 N.C. 824, 175 S.E. 181; In re Bailey, 203 N.C. 362, 166 S.E. 165; In re Hubbard, 201 N.C. 472, 160 S.E. 569.\u201d Texas v. Rhoades, 7 N.C. App. 388, 172 S.E. 2d 235.\nAlthough this attempted appeal from a judgment rendered on a return to a writ of habeas corpus must be dismissed, we have considered the record and brief as a petition for writ of certiorari. The only error assigned was to the entry of the judgment. The record supports the judgment. Answer to the inquiries made by counsel in his brief and oral argument may, we believe, be found in numerous decisions of the Supreme Court. See State v. Propst, 274 N.C. 62, 161 S.E. 2d 560; Bell v. Smith, 263 N.C. 814, 140 S.E. 2d 542; State v. Sullivan, 229 N.C. 251, 49 S.E. 2d 458.\nAppeal dismissed.\nPetition denied.\nCampbell and PARKER, JJ., concur.",

Petitioner did not appeal from the entry of the original order of committal. Although petitioner was present at the hearing upon the return of the writ and was represented by counsel, he offered no evidence. After hearing evidence tending to show the legality of petitioner\u2019s restraint, Judge Carr found petitioner to be held in legal custody and ordered that he so remain.\nAttorney General Robert Morgan by Staff Attorney Dale Shepherd for the State.\nSeawell, Van Camp and Morgan by H.
