The claimant sought a writ of habeas corpus. The defendant had applied for his extradition, based on allegations of dishonesty in the management of a company. The actions alleged occurred in a period of financial stress, and it was agreed he was to take no personal benefit. The claimant asserted that there was no evidence of dishonesty. Given the accepted commercial practice at the time, no tribunal could properly find evidence of dishonesty, and the writ was granted.
