California Supreme Court · Decided July 2, 1886
2 Cal. Unrep. 671; 11 P. 600

Pico v. Williams

Opinion of the Court

By 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.
