Section 771. Punishment upon return of habeas corpus  


Latest version.
  • Where the accused is
      brought up by virtue of a writ of habeas  corpus,  he  must,  after  the
      final order is made, be remanded to the custody of the sheriff, or other
      officer,  to whom the writ was directed. If the final order directs that
      he be punished by imprisonment, or committed until the payment of a  sum
      of money, he must be so imprisoned or committed, upon his discharge from
      custody under the mandate, by virtue of which he is held by the sheriff,
      or other officer.
