SIGEL vs. CIRCUIT JUDGE (Wayne),
    No. 15846½.
   To vacate an order holding to bail on a writ of capias in an action in tort against relator, a physician, who is charged with so recklessly, negligently and unnecessarily performing an operation as to cause the premature delivery of a child.

Granted October 21, 1896, with costs.
