No. 138
    No. 19261
    The State, ex rel B. Alfred Carmody et al., v. Charles L. Justice, as Judge, etc., et al.
    In Prohibition.
    960. PROHIBITION — Where court has full jurisdiction of subject matter in a pending action, writ of prohibition to prevent anticipated erroneous judgment will not be granted.
   MATTHIAS, J.

1. The function of a writ of prohibition is to restrain inferior courts and tribunals from exercising jurisdiction beyond that legally conferred and it will be awarded only when there is no other available adequate remedy.

2. Where a court has full and complete jurisdiction of the subject matter of an action therein pending a writ of prohibition will not be awarded to prevent an anticipated erroneous judgment. An adequate remedy is available by proceeding in error.

Writ denied.

Jones, Day, Allen, Kinkade and Robinson, JJ., concur.
