Shields v. Warden of Maryland House of Correction

Per Curiam. This is an application by Nathaniel Shields for leave to appeal from the denial of a writ of habeas corpus. The petitioner was denied an application for such leave to appeal by this Court in Shields v. Warden, 212 Md. 655 . ⁶³⁵ The only additional allegation raised on this appeal is that there was not sufficient evidence presented during the trial of the petitioner to justify a conviction. It is well settled that habeas corpus proceedings are not intended to be, and cannot be used as, a substitute for a motion for a new trial or an appeal, and that the sufficiency of the evidence cannot be raised by a habeas corpus proceeding.

Langrehr v. Warden, 214 Md. 645 ; Smith v. Warden, 214 Md. 666 . Application denied, with costs.
