habeas corpus ad subjiciendum

habeas corpus ad subjiciendum
/heybiyas korpas aed sabjis(h)iyendam/ A writ directed to the person detaining another, and commanding him to produce the body of the prisoner, or person detained. This is the most common form of habeas corpus writ, the purpose of which is to test the legality of the detention or imprisonment; not whether he is guilty or innocent. This writ is guaranteed by U.S.Const. Art. I, No. 9, and by state constitutions.
See 28 U.S.C.A. No. 2241 et seq. for federal habeas corpus procedures. This is the well-known remedy in England and the United States for deliverance from illegal confinement, called by Sir William Blackstone the most celebrated writ in the English law, and the great and efficacious writ in all manner of illegal confinement. 3 Bl.Comm. 129. The "great writ of liberty," issuing at common law out of courts of Chancery, King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer
