Opinion

The COURT.

We are of opinion that the petitioner is entitled to his discharge under article i., section 6 of the Constitution, whicli provides that witnesses shall not be unreasonably detained. It appears that the witness has been detained as such for ninety days, and there have been several continuances in the case which are not satisfactorily accounted for.

The petitioner is discharged from custody.
