Pico v. Williams
California Supreme Court
Pico v. Williams, 2 Cal. Unrep. 671 (Cal. 1886)
11 P. 600
Pico v. Williams
Opinion of the Court
We are of opinion that, from the facts stated in the petition, the petitioner is not entitled to a writ of prohibition. The request of the governor, as set forth in the petition, was sufficient authority for Judge Williams to hold a superior court in the county of Los Angeles. It is therefore unnecessary to consider any, issue raised by the answer of respondent.
The application for a writ of prohibition is denied, and the alternative writ heretofore issued is annulled.
