JOHN HANCOCK MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO. v. HILL’S ESTATE.
    Certiorari — When Lies.
    
      Certiorari will not lie to review a judgment of the circuit court allowing a contingent claim 'against the estate of a deceased person upon an appeal taken from the probate court, writ of error being the proper remedy.
    
      Certiorari to Wayne; Donovan, J.
    Submitted December 5, 1895.
    Decided December 30, 1895.
    
      The John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company had judgment upon a contingent claim against the estate of William R. Hill, deceased, and Elmira Bement, an heir of the deceased, brings certiorari.
    
    Writ dismissed.
    
      T. M. Crocker, for plaintiff in certiorari.
    
    
      Alfred Bussell, for defendant in certiorari.
    
   Grant, J.

This involves the same facts and the same questions as the preceding case. It is brought into this court by the writ of certiorari by another heir appellant.

We held in John Hancock, etc., Ins. Co. v. Durfee, 97 Mich. 613, that a writ of error was the proper remedy. The writ must therefore be dismissed, with costs.

The other Justices concurred.
