1Opinion of the Court
THE COURT.
Petitioners seek by prohibition to restrain the Superior Court in and for the County of Los Angeles, and Frank C. Collier and J. T. B. Warne, Judges thereof, from hearing and trying a certain contempt proceeding now awaiting trial in that court, and in which proceeding petitioners herein are named as defendants. Petitioners contend that Judge Collier is disqualified from hearing the contempt case on the ground that it is “probable that, by reason of bias or prejudice of such . . . judge ... a fair and impartial trial cannot be had before him”. (Subd. 5, sec. 170, Code Civ. Proc.)
