¶1I dissent. The complaint either states a cause of action under the provisions of the code about habeas corpus, or it states no cause of action at all. There is no averment of any liability of defendant under the original arrest. The averred liability is upon his refusal to obey the writ of habeas corpus. I think, therefore, that the-motion for a change of venue was properly denied.
