OPINION BY WOODSIDE, J., January 17, 1956:
This is an appeal from the refusal of the Court of Common Pleas of Schuylkill County to grant a writ of habeas corpus to the relator, a prisoner at the State Penitentiary at Graterford.
The relator questions the power of the sentencing judge to revoke a sentence and impose another which increases the penalty, even though done within the same term of court.
