Counsel

A. Loomis, for the motion., D. Burwell, contra.

Haines v. Backus

Opinion of the Court

By the Court,

Savage, Ch. J.

The certiorari was clearly premature. Until inquisition found, there was nothing to remove. An inquisition cannot be found in this court; it can be obtained only in the method prescribed by statute, which manifestly contemplates the finding of the inquisition previous to the removal of the proceedings into this court. (2 R. S. 510, 11, § 20, 21, 22.)
