Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion
The Court :
A writ of prohibition does not run to a ministerial officer. The acts sought to be prohibited were not judicial acts; therefore the writ of prohibition, which was issued in this case on the 26th day of August, 1879, was improperly issued.
Judgment reversed, and cause remanded.
