Gardner v. Jones

I concur in the judgment because I see no way to hold otherwise consistently with the sacred right of the citizen to invoke the remedy of the writ of habeas corpus. Some slight impairment of the efficiency and discipline of insane asylums may possibly follow; but it is not to be assumed that a judge of the superior court will declare a man to be sane contrary to the judgment of the superintendent of the asylum except in a very clear and strong case.
