184 S.E.2d 150

NELSON v. SMITH.

Supreme Court of Georgia.

Decided October 7, 1971.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William Nelson, pro se.

Arthur K. Bolton, Attorney General, Harold N. Hill, Jr., Executive Assistant Attorney General, Courtney Wilder Stanton, Mathew Robins, Dorothy T. Beasley, Assistant Attorneys General, for appellee.

FELTON, Justice.

This appeal is from an order in a habeas corpus proceeding remanding the appellant to the custody of the Warden of the Putnam County Correctional Institution.

1. Appellant enumerates as error alleged prejudice against him on the part of the arresting officer and contends that he was "framed," "set up," and "tricked." A habeas corpus proceeding cannot be used as a substitute for appeal. Bonner v. Smith, 226 Ga. 250
