Matter of Gregory, Petitioner

Summary

The Court denied habeas relief because the proceeding could not be used to review whether the information was sufficient or whether the petitioner’s conduct violated the statute, so long as the Police Court had jurisdiction over the charged offense. It held that the statutory provisions prohibiting gift enterprises were valid and that the Police Court had jurisdiction to determine whether the petitioner’s trading-stamp business fell within the prohibition. The Court therefore left the conviction undisturbed.
