IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF JOSEFA TARUC FOR THE ISSUANCE OF A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS, IN BEHALF OF AQUILINO TARUC. JOSEFA TARUC, PETITIONER, VS. DETECTIVE SERGEANT CARLOS, ETC., RESPONDENT.

HABEAS CORPUS.—In a habeas corpus case, it was held: "Aquilino Taruc was illegally deprived of his personal freedom from 5 o'clock in the afternoon of July 3, 1947, to 12 o'clock noon of July 4, 1947, and, during which time he was entitled to be released, which is not now necessary to be ordered, in view of the fact that he was set free before this case had been heard at 3 o'clock in the afternoon of July 4, 1947, but it should be clearly understood that neither the respondent nor any other person should disturb him in the peaceful enjoyment of his personal liberty, unless authorized by law."
