--Upon the petition of Richard E. Morris, for and on behalf of his infant son, Charles B. Morris, setting forth that his said son is illegally detained in custody by Captain J. Monroe Heiskell, and praying for a writ of habeas corpus, such writ was awarded, to be directed to said Capt. J. M. Heiskell, ordering him, or such other person as may have the said Chas. B. Morris in-custody, to have him before the Court on Thursday next.
