Rogers v. McNaughton

Opinion of the Court

To compel the sheriff to deliver to relator a prisoner, who is suffering from diphtheria, for the purpose of removal to the hospital, there to be kept and cared for until her recovery, and then to be returned.

The circuit judge denied the application, on the ground that, relator was not the health officer of the village, but that another was both de jure and de facto such health officer.

Writ of certiorari refused.
