¶1*645 Before BRUNE, C.J., and HENDERSON, HAMMOND, PRESCOTT and HORNEY, JJ.

¶2PER CURIAM:

¶3In a petition for leave to appeal from the denial of his application for a writ of habeas corpus, the applicant makes but one contention, i.e., that a confession was obtained from him by "unorthodox and unfair methods used by the police officers." The voluntary nature of a confession may be raised and contested at the trial of a defendant or upon appeal, but cannot form the basis for a writ of habeas corpus. Johnson v. Warden,212 Md. 652; Eberle v. Warden,209 Md. 657.

¶4Application denied, with costs.
