This is a habeas corpus proceeding which Herbert Sanders brought against George C.

Counsel for the parties have notified this court that applicant, after escaping from the custody of respondent Mutimer, has been recaptured and returned to South Carolina. In these circumstances the case has become moot and for that reason the writ of error will be dismissed. See Blalock v. Corpe, 215 Ga. 61 (108 SE2d 715).
