GAS CO. ANSWER
TO COMMISSIONERS
FILED IN COURT

Saying the Commissioners have no
risht TO a writ of prohibition which
viii prevent the hearing before Justice
Gould TO ascertain the cash value OF
the plant of the Washington Gas Light
Company, the company today filed its
answer in the Court OF Appeals. and
asked that body 10 dismiss the rule re-
quiriug them 10 show cause why the
writ should not be issued.
IL is contended that the Court Of Ap-
peals has no right 70 issue rules OF
prohibition except in cases where u
has absolute jurisdiction. and that in
the present instance jurisdiction is en-
urely with the District Supreme Court.
The answer Was filed by Wilton j.
Lambert, r. Ross Perry & Son r. II.
GOllSbOr0uGh. and Edward Mclean. at
tOTneys for the gas company.
1t is denied that the petition shows
such facts as entiJie the Commissioners
TO the relief prayed for
1t is set forth THAT by the original
incorporation of the Gas Company the
capital stock was placed at $4,000. di-
vided into shares of so each, and that
by different acts Of Congress. the final
one being May D. 1872 a further in
crease u. s. l.2O0. coo was authorized. and
that the present capital stock OF the
Gas Company issued under authority Of
law Is S26y9,VV0,
K is set forth that the order remains
in fun force and effect. and not ap-
neaied from al the present time. The
position IS taken that under the act the
District Supreme Court has exclusive
jurisdiction Of the case, and that its
jurisdiction is final, and that the only
power that exists in the Court of Ap-
pCals TO issue writs of prohibition is
in cases where it has absolute jurisdic-
ton.
