W. B. ROGERS, Appellant." ], "opinions": [ { "text": "OPINION OP THE COURT.\nROBERTS, C. J. \u2014\nAppellee was arrested and held in custody by appellant, who was the Marshal of the village of Dexter, in Chaves County; New Mexico, under and by virtue of a warrant issued by a Justice of the Peace, filed with him against appellee, charging him with a violation of an ordinance of said village of Dexter. Application was made to the Judge of the Fifth Judicial District for a writ of habeas corpus by appellee and, upon the hearing, he was discharged from the custody of the Marshal. From the order made the town Marshal prosecutes this appeal, which appellee has moved to dismiss, upon the ground that no appeal can be taken from an order made in habeas corpus proceeding, either discharging or remanding a petitioner.\nThe prevailing doctrine in the State courts of this country is thus stated in 9 Am. & Eng. Ency. PL & Pr. 1072:\u2018\n'\u2018Independent of statutory provisions, the best doctrine appears to be that a decision in a habeas corpus ease is not of that final and conclusive character necessary to support a review by writ of error, and that no right of appeal exists.\u201d\nThe text is supported by the great weight of authority as will be seen from an examination of the case notes appended to the following cases, reported in Am. & Eng. Ann. Cases, viz: Wisner v. Burrell, Ann. Cas. 1912 D, 356, Blealdey v. Smart, 11 Am. & Eng. Ann. Cas. 125, Cormack v. Marshall, 1 Am. & Eng. Ann. Cas. 256.\nAnd see also an extensive case note to the case of Wisner v. Burrell, 34 L. R. A. (N. S.) 755. While the great weight of authority supports the text above quoted, some courts hold otherwise. The best reasoned case to the contrary which has been called to our attention is that of Winnovich v. Emery, 93 Pac. 988, but an examination of the cases cited by the Utah court in support of its holding will show that some, but not all, of the cases upon which it relies for support were based upon statutes granting tlio right of appeal.\nIn this State, the right of appeal in such cases, is not granted by statute, unless it is conferred by sec. 1, chapter 57, S. L. 1907, which reads as follows:\n,\u201cAny person aggrieved by any final judgment or decision of any District Court in any civil cause may, at his election take an appeal or sue out a writ of error to the Supreme .Court of the Territory at any time within one year from the date of the entry of the same.\u201d\nDid the legislature intend that habeas corpus proceedings should be governed by the provisions of said chapter 57, supra? If so, then the speedy remedy which this great writ was designed to afford to a party unlawfully deprived of his liberty would not be available in this State. By section 16 of said chapter 57, the appellant may file a supersedeas bond, the amount of which in a case like this would be fixed by the- Judge of the District Court, which would stay the execution of the'judgment and prevent the discharge of the petitioner. By section 21 of said act,.as amended by sec. 2, chap. 120, S. L. 1909, the appellant would have 130 days in which to perfect the appeal, and if the ease followed the ordinary cours\u00e9 it would probably be six months before the appeal could be heard, should appellant desire to delay the same. It will thus be seen that the Appellate Procedure Act makes no appropriate provision for the -review of habeas corpus proceedings. Elaborate and specific provisions governing the exercise of the right to the writ of habeas corpus are found in the Compiled Laws of 1897, (sections 2781 to 2817, inclusive) but no right of appeal is expressly or impliedly, granted by the act from which said sections were taken. (Chap. 1, S. L. 1884.) Under sec. 2783, the petitioner was authorized to apply for the writ to- the Supreme or District Court, or to any Judge thereof, who was in the district where the prisoner was detained, or, if the Judge in such district had refused to grant the writ, then petitioner might apply to any Judge of any other district. In other words, he could exhaust the whole judicial power of the Territory, by repeated applications, until he secured his release. And, although he might be discharged, he could be again arrested and imprisoned upon the same charge, if \u201cindicted therefor, convicted thereof, or committed for want of bail by some court of record having jurisdiction of the cause,\u201d etc. (Sec. 2808, C. L. 1897.) As was well said by the Criminal Court of Appeals of Oklahoma, in the case of Ex Parte Johnson, 98 Pac. 461:\u2014\n\u2018\u2018Had it been intended to provide for appeals in HABEAS COBPUS, some appropriate provision would have been made. Its omission affords the best evidence to the contrary, and, if anything is wanting to remove all doubt, it will be found in the nature and object of this great writ as a constitutional right; its purpose being to afford a speedy remedy to a party unjustly accused of the commisr sion of a crime without obstructing or delaying public justice, both of which objects would be defeated by the delays consequent upon an appeal. Any other rule would operate practically to subvert the constitutional safeguards and the fundamental rights of the citizen.\u201d\nThat the legislature could provide for appeals in such eases is not doubted, but until it does so, in clear and unequivocal language, and under suitable regulations which do not impair the constiutional provisions governing the right to the writ, the courts will deny such right.\nFor the reasons stated, the appeal will be dismissed, and it is so ordered.", "type": "majority", "author": "ROBERTS, C.
