Opinion of the Court
Tbe authority of the probate judge to award a certiorari, returnable into tbe circuit court, is derived from tbe statute, and cannot be extended by construction to certioraris, returnable into tbe city court. Revised Code, ยง 796. Tbe act establishing tbe city court of Montgomery, does not give the same extent of authority of awarding a certiorari, which previously pertained to tbe probate judge, in reference to tbe circuit court. โ Stevenson v.
