DECIDED FEBRUARY 20, 1969.
Habeas corpus. Clarke Superior Court. Before Judge Barrow.

David Crossland, District Attorney, E. H. Culpepper, Thomas Ridgway, District Attorney, William T. Gerard, for appellees.
In this habeas corpus hearing to inquire into the restraint of a prisoner held for extradition after the issuance of the Governor's warrant, upon the admission by stipulation that the warrants are regular on their face and the only issue is one of defense which counsel seeks to urge that the State of Alabama has denied the applicant a speedy trial in violation of certain constitutional inhibitions thereby causing him undue and oppressive incarceration and has impaired his ability to defend himself, the court did not err in remanding him to custody and refusing to go into the issue thus raised. See United States v. Ewell, 383 U.S. 116 ( 86 S.C. 773, 15 L.Ed.2d 627); Mullennix v. Balkcom, 213 Ga. 490 ( 99 S.E.2d 832); Brown v. Grimes, 214 Ga. 388 ( 104 S.E.2d 907); Hill v. Griffin, 224 Ga. 378 ( 162 S.E.2d 397).
Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
