Certiorari, to remove the proceedings in a case of forcible entry and detainer. Ingersoll urged the immediate hearing of the case, in order to avoid the inconvenience of a sentence of restitution, when great error existed on the record.
1Opinion of the Court
By the Court.
— It has often being decided, that a certiorari does not operate as a supersedeas, in a proceeding under the landlord and tenant act. 1 Dall. Laws, 611.(b) But it has never been so decided, in the case of a proceeding, under the statutes against forcible entry and detainer.
