Opinion of the Court

THE COURT.

The application for a writ of prohibition herein is denied.

The remedy of the petitioner is to first present his defense upon the hearing of the contempt proceedings and *Page 404 then, if found guilty of the contempt, to apply to a higher court for a writ of certiorari or habeas corpus. (Commercial Bank v. Superior Court, 192 Cal. 395, 397 [220 P. 422]; Drew v.Superior Court, 43 Cal.App. 651, 655 [185 P. 680].)
